Honor, Shame, and the First Christmas

An Advent Devotional

by Cameron D. Armstrong

ISBN: 978-621-96888-7-1

This short Advent devotional takes up the theme of honor and shame using character theology – a deep dive into biblical characters and their world, instead of talking about them abstractly. Draw nearer to Christ this Christmas through first-person perspectives of the shameful and honorable events of the Advent narrative.
