Rick Brannan lives in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife and children. He is the general editor of the Lexham English Septuagint and the translator of The Apostolic Fathers in English. Rick writes a regular column on the church fathers for Bible Study Magazine. He is currently working on an examination of the vocabulary of the Pastoral Epistles.
Having used Anticipating His Arrival around the dinner table with
my family, I look forward to making use of it again this year and
am delighted to see this devotional in print for a wider audience.
Too often, devotionals centered around the Christmas season lack
the anticipatory nature that Advent is meant to invoke. Brannan's
cycle of preparation, anticipation, joy, and incarnation--combined
with a rich selection of passages that span the width of the
Scriptures--makes this a devotional that will serve and enrich many
families.

studies, Acadia Divinity College
"During the time of Advent, many people reflect on the coming of
the Lord and His incarnation. In Anticipating His Arrival, Rick
Brannan has thoughtfully reflected upon OT and NT Bible passages
that will surely stir the hearts and minds of God's people. This
family guide is an easy and brief way to prepare for the Advent
season by being led through Bible passages and thoughtful questions
on select Scriptures. Using the Revised Common Lectionary, families
are guided through this devotional material for a three-year
lectionary cycle. This will become a wonderful addition to the
traditions of my family each year."
--Shawn J. Wilhite, assistant professor of Christian studies,
California Baptist University
