Customer Reviews for Zondervan Advent Conspiracy Book & DVD Pack

Zondervan Advent Conspiracy Book & DVD Pack

Rick McKinley and Chris Seay know they're not the only ones who are tired of how consumerism has stolen the soul of Christmas. In Advent Conspiracy, they invite individuals, families, home groups, and entire churches to join the groundswell of Christ-followers who choose to make Christmas what it should be-a joyous celebration of Jesus' birth that enriches their hearts and the world around them, not a retail circus that depletes their pocketbooks and defeats their spirits.

Through this engaging, four-session DVD curriculum and stand-alone book complete with study guide, Advent Conspiracy shows how readers can substitute compassion for consumption by practicing four simple but powerful, countercultural concepts: Worship Fully-because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus! Spend Less-and free up resources for things that truly matter. Give More-presence: helping hands, healing words, humble hearts. Love All-the poor, the forgotten, the marginalized, the sick, in ways that make a difference.

The concept is right on, the book is useful, the DVD was disappointing. Had hoped the DVD would carry more information about the specific projects that were being changed so that it could be used as inspiration in the worship service to others. Buy the book! Not so sure about the DVD.

Very true about Christmas. It is more important that we remember the reason for the season

I haven't presented the series yet but I love the materials. I have watched the video segments and read the book. It has already changed how I am approaching Advent this year. I bought this for my Junior High class and have decided to open the series up to everyone in the church from Junior High up. There is only one discussion question that is focused on being an adult but all of the rest of the questions and videos are appropriate for kids 6 th grade and up.
