Christmas is great—in fact, it's better than all the commercial hype!

In the midst of the gift-buying, make-everybody-happy, food-gorging craziness that is Christmas, Matt Chandler helps us stop… breathe… and refocus our hearts.

In his uniquely humorous, honest style, Matt shows us that God gets involved with us, gives us joy and is worth our trust. And this joy and peace is not just for Christmas, it lasts all year round and into eternity.

Review

Every December we spiral down into what Matt Chandler rightly calls our shop-till-you-drop, make-sure-everybody-is-totally-happy, gift-buying, food-gorging panic attack called Christmas. If, like me, you re exhausted already, then An Even Better Christmas is for you. This book guides us all into real peace on earth, starting way down deep in our hearts. --Ray Ortlund, Pastor, Immanuel Church, Nashville; President, Renewal Ministries

In An Even Better Christmas, Matt Chandler asks a life-changing question: in the Christmas story, are we less like the wise men and more like the religious leaders, who knew about God s King but didn t want to know him? Once that question is in your mind, your Christmases will never be the same again. I m so grateful to Matt for raising it, and it has made me much more excited about Christmas this year. --Rico Tice, Founder, Christianity Explored Ministries; author, Capturing God and Honest Evangelism

It's no secret that Matt Chandler is a gifted communicator of the gospel. But he's much more than that. He's a pastor whose heart for the lost and for the church is evident at every turn. I thank God for Matt's voice of clarity and conviction, and pray his words and witness continue to bear much fruit. --Jen Wilkin, Author, None Like Him and In His Image

Every December we spiral down into what Matt Chandler rightly calls our “shop-till-you-drop, make-sure-everybody-is-totally-happy, gift-buying, food-gorging panic attack” called Christmas. If, like me, you’re exhausted already, then An Even Better Christmas is for you. This book guides us all into real “peace on earth,” starting way down deep in our hearts. -- Ray Ortlund (President, Renewal Ministries)

So thankful for Matt and the encouragement he shares in this little book. In a year like no other, reading this in Christmas 2020 was such a wonderful moment. Christ's birth was a monumental moment in history that provides a lens to a time that every year will be wiped, and Jesus will be with us. I hope for that day, and I am certain it will be here.

Thank you Matt!

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight Forward Message About the Meaning of Christmas
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018
Verified Purchase
I loved this straight forward message on the meaning of Christmas...that Christ loves me right where I’m at...and as long as I keep seeking I will find my treasure in the field. The gentile wise men went to seek Him and lay treasure for Him...the religious scholars did not. It is not about knowing about Jesus...it’s about knowing Him. I’m grateful I read this book this Christmas season because it has been quite a year. Joy has come....”Help my unbelief!”

This is a great read for the Christmas season! It's message resonates with deep relevance regardless of background. Whether you are approaching Christmas this year with great excitement and anticipation, or great dread, Chandler's retelling of the familiar story will meet you where you are. If you give it a chance, "An Even Better Christmas" will leave you with a greater joy in anticipation of the season and an even greater Hope for what lies beyond it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book to focus on the right thing during the Nativity season
Reviewed in Canada on December 25, 2018

Christmas is not about gifts and Christmas trees but about the birth of Jesus. I read this book in a season of my life where I question my creation by God but yearn to know more about Jesus. It was a good read in which I meditated and examined my practices during Christmas.
