In Unexpected Ways: Christmas in Everyday Life Kindle Edition

Sometimes the Christmas story feels distant, removed from our every-day life. The star, the stable, the wise men, feel like they belong in our childhood, and in church plays, but have no bearing in “real” life. The Christmas season can feel like a pause in the ebb and flow of our life. Every year, the Christmas season ends, the decorations are put away, and we turn our attention to the next thing. But if we pack the peace and joy and wonder of Christmas in the attic with our decorations, we have missed Christmas altogether. It was for after-Christmas-life that Jesus came. God wrapped up in human form, experiencing everything we experience, to weave the Christmas story into real life. The devotions of In Unexpected Ways helps readers apply the themes of Christmas to their everyday lives. Because the Christmas story is part of a larger story, a story that began before God said, “Let there be light.” A story that includes the Garden of Eden, the Cross and Resurrection. A story that is still unfolding today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loaded with Deep Wisdom
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
Verified Purchase
This relatively small book is beautifully loaded with godly wisdom that author Erin Ulerich makes understandable and applicable to everyday living. While each of the seventy or so devotionals is related to Christmas, they are written in a timeless way that applies to any time of the year, especially in times of difficulty. Each has caused me to deeply ponder my own circumstances, attitudes, and relationships with God and man. If you are looking for a book of solid devotionals, you can’t go wrong with In Unexpected Ways: Christmas in Everyday Life. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light for Dark Days
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2021

When life takes an unexpected turn, it’s such a relief to have resources to turn to that comfort us and guide us through the journey. Erin has created such a relatable devotional that points us to God’s presence with us in the unexpected. Her bite-sized devotionals are the perfect way to recenter my heart and mind when they begin to spiral amid the chaos that is often present within unexpected circumstances. I love how Erin uses the Christmas story to remind us that God works in unexpected ways — and that thanks to Jesus, he is always with us.

So many nuggets of wisdom can be found throughout the book and clung to on the hard days. One of my favorites: “God is weaving the beauty of redemption in the darkest of places.”

I keep the book on my nightstand for quick doses of truth. It’d make a great book for anyone who is struggling with circumstances they didn’t expect to have to navigate.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Don't pack away the peace, joy, and wonder of Christmas"
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021
Verified Purchase
In this beautiful book, Erin gently reminds us that hope of Jesus isn't just for one day out of the year. This book of approximately 70 short devotionals is a perfect study in God's faithfulness through even difficult days when it's hard to remember the joy of Christmas. I love how Erin relates each devotion to a popular Christmas hymn. In each she shares scripture that is foundational truth and personal stories to show how this truth impacts real life. I recommend picking up a copy of this book and being reminded that "the things we celebrate at Christmas are the foundation for the hope we apply to our lives in all other days of the year."

I have enjoyed being a follower of Erin Ulerich’s blog this past year. I was excited about her book of daily devotions and immediately got a copy of In Unexpected Ways Christmas In Everyday Life.
These devotions have pointed me daily to what God has done and who He is all the time. I have been encouraged each day as I read to ponder on the hope I/we have in the midst of my/our messiness!
I plan to give this book to my friends for their encouragement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but meaty devotions
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2021
Verified Purchase
This is a good devotional book, and I recommend it highly. It has short chapters, but they are meaty. They deal with life as it is, not as we would like it to be. It is about Christmas, and draws on carols, but it also deals with a broad range of Bible passages. It shows the multifaceted hope we have because of Christmas.

The way Erin writes literally makes the Scriptures and God's truth jump off the page. She engages our heart and captures our mind with the Christmas story and helps us see that 'hope' is alive and available for us to live out-loud each and everyday in all circumstances. She encourages us to think, ask, and apply God's word as we grow our roots down deep with Christ and build our hope on him.

Reading this book is an excellent way to enjoy the Christmas season and realize it will continue in our lives daily, even after our world says the fun is over. This book reminds me that the message of Christmas is life-giving now and always! I plan to read it again once the post-Christmas blues hit, so I can counteract those blues with the joyous reality of Christmas in my everyday life 😁

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Advent Book
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have followed Erin's writing for years and I am so excited that she published a book for Advent. I buy Advent devotionals every few years and Erin's book was my purchase this year. Erin writes from the heart in a real and vulnerable way. She points to the Light of Jesus, our Hope, from a place of experience and depth.
