New for 2026: Advent Can Still Change the World by Josh Scott invites groups to read the Advent and Christmas Scriptures in their original context and discover fresh meaning for faith today. In God's Surprises for the Christmas Season, Susan Robb explores how our broken plans can make room for God's presence and how every holy surprise carries a blessing. The Strength to Carry by Lisa Toney is an Advent Bible study on Mary. These three studies include free video access and leader resources. Amy-Jill Levine's classic Light of the World also returns this year in a newly revised and expanded edition.

Returning favorites include Matt Rawle's The Redemption of Scrooge and Mike Slaughter's Christmas Is Not Your Birthday, now available in a 15th anniversary edition. You can also explore beloved studies such as A Child Is Born, Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, On the Way to Bethlehem, Voices of Advent, and Adam Hamilton's The Journey.
