					<description><![CDATA[International (MNN) -- Biblica makes the most of a season of searching hearts with 'The Coming']]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
International (MNN) &#8212; <em>Isn&#39;t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?<br />
</em>
</p>
<p>
Charlie Brown&#39;s famous line is echoed during the Christmas season by many who searching for something more.
</p>
<p>
In the West amid toys, sales, lists, and food, it&#39;s easy to forget the real reason to celebrate. A lot of people may know that Christmas is supposed to be about Jesus, but they might not make all the connections in Scripture.
</p>
<p>
And yet <a href="/groups/IBS">Biblica&#39;s</a> CEO Doug Lockhart agrees that Christmas is a season where people may be more inclined to make spiritual connections.
</p>
<p>
&quot;We think about people who might be far from the church or have a long background in the church that may or may not be close to God,&quot; explains Lockhart. &quot;But sometimes a time like this during the holidays is a time when they&#39;ll re-evaluate.&quot;
</p>
<p>
And Biblica wants to be there for it.
</p>
<p>
To make the most of this season for searching hearts, Biblica has created a new resource. &quot;The Coming&quot; is a short booklet that is an excerpt of key Scripture passages, as well as some really engaging explanation of what it all means.&quot;
</p>
<p>
Illustrated in color and told through the narrative of Luke, the prophesy of Isaiah, and the imagery of Revelation, <em>The Coming</em> walks the reader through what it meant for Jesus to be expected king and how he defied those expectations.
</p>
<p>
<em>The Coming</em> is presented in a story form without chapters and verses, making it easy to read and understand.
</p>
<p>
Biblica hopes that as people read the booklets and distribute them, it&#39;ll be more than just a new Christmas tradition. &quot;This is a tool that we&#39;re hopeful will be placed in someone&#39;s hands which might reengage them in God&#39;s Word.&quot;
</p>
<p>
As people around you seek out the true meaning of Christmas and life as a whole this season, be ready to share with them the entirety of the Good News of the newborn King. It could be the start of a new life in Christ.
</p>
<p>
<em>The Coming</em> is only $0.60 when bought in bulk, and only $0.75 bought individually. <a href="http://www.biblicadirect.com/p-1657-the-coming-christmas-booklet.aspx" target="_blank">Get your copies here.<br />
