May you and yours take up this book, read it, and be renewed." -- Scott Sauls, author of Jesus Outside the Lines"What better way to prepare our hearts for Christmas than to do what Russ has done so well in The Advent of the Lamb of God—rehearse the magnificent story that begins centuries before, the magnificent story woven through all of the Bible. The story of how God loves his children and has come to rescue them." -- Sally Lloyd-Jones, author of The Jesus Storybook Bible"So many authors write like theyre on a mission to prove something about their own brilliance. Not Russ Ramsey. Hes doing something entirely different. Even the simple preface is a study in how calming, winsome, and selfless writing can be. Put this book in your hands and feel loved." -- Charlie Peacock, coexecutive director at Art House America, and record producer for Switchfoot and the Civil Wars"When Andrew Peterson sings Behold the Lamb of God, three worlds collide: ours, Abrahams, and Jesus. Russ Ramseys book opens the doors between those worlds and helps us bring them together." -- Michael Card, singer and songwriter, author of Inexpressible"Russ Ramsey tells a story youve heard a hundred times and still havent heard enough. With remarkable attention to the facts of the matter—the water dripping from John the Baptists beard, the heft of Abrahams knife, the groans of a girl giving birth on a stable floor—Russ brings to life the story that brings us to life. Here is glory made visible, tangible, audible. Which is to say, here is the Incarnation." -- Jonathan Rogers, author of the Wilderking Trilogy, The Charlatans Boy, and The Terrible Speed of Mercy"Ramsey deftly retells the story of Jesus with a pastors heart and an artists touch. In this book, real people sigh and cry, tremble and rejoice. It captured my heart. My family will treasure it for years to come." -- Randall Goodgame, singer and songwriter"The Advent of the Lamb of God offers readers a sterling opportunity to walk through Gods story of redemption. Ideal for personal or family devotions, the stories are told with imagination, verve, and gospel-driven joy." -- Dan Doriani, pastor, professor, and author of The Sermon on the Mount: The Character of a Disciple"Russ Ramsey is that rare kind of writer: both an astute theologian with a comprehensive knowledge of the Holy Scriptures and a masterful storyteller. In beautifully written prose, he takes us on a trip through the history of redemption, bringing to life the true tale of a Divine Lover who comes to rescue his people. As a loving pastor, Russ shepherds this great story as well or better than any writer. Not only is he that skillful, hes that full of care, which is no small thing." -- Andi Ashworth, coexecutive director of Art House America, and author of Real Love for Real Life: The Art and Work of Caring"This story, and the compelling beauty with which Russ tells it, is what helps us make sense of the big story, which we need to hear all year long, our whole lives long." -- Nancy Guthrie, author of the Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible study series"Russ Ramseys Retelling the Stories is a worthy addition to the tradition of scriptural retellings, such as Eugene Petersons The Message and Sally Lloyd-Joness The Jesus Storybook Bible. . . . The three installments of the Retelling the Stories series are beautifully written and easy to read without being condescending, simplistic, or taking too many liberties. As a commentary engages the mind, Ramseys books capture the heart. The stories here, in service to the scriptures, refreshed my soul, gave my heart joy, and lit my eyes. If Russ Ramseys goal is to help his readers understand scripture better and to have their eyes open to the beauty of mercy and grace, he succeeds." -- Tommy Welty, Fathom Magazine, July 11, 2018 Long Description "A page in history was about to turn.
