Songwriter Caroline Cobb Set To Release Her First Book on Sept. 24th

B&H Publishing announces the release of songwriter and storyteller Caroline Cobb's first book, Advent for Exiles, releasing September 24th. This special advent devotional will feature 25 devotions to awaken Christmas hope in a longing heart. Preorder this Scripture-rich companion for the Advent season now.
In 2020, Cobb released A Seed, A Sunrise, an album that explored the ache of Advent, the joy of Christmas, and the expectant yearning for Christ's return. That album inspires this Advent devotional as she dives deeper into the poetic imagery of Isaiah and the biblical theme of exile.
"After releasing my Christmas album, I began work on this 'side project,'" shares Caroline Cobb. "But in the writing, I discovered the album had barely scratched the surface for me. I wanted to dive deeper into the poetic imagery of Isaiah, draw more connections between our current experience and the biblical theme of exile, and help readers imaginatively engage in the ache of Advent as a way of expanding their joy at Christ's coming. Advent for Exiles is the fruit of more than two years of writing and wrestling this deep dive into words."
Throughout the 25-day devotional, Cobb weaves Scripture readings, song lyrics, poetic prose, biblical imagery, and responsive exercises to help readers joyfully celebrate Christ's first arrival while deeply longing for His second.
She adds, "This devotional is written for those who have felt-or at least feel ready to acknowledge-the long groan of exile. We need Advent companions willing to recognize the darkness around and within. Only then will we be able to fully rejoice in the arrival of Jesus, the Light of the world. I pray Advent for Exiles will do just that."

"Advent for Exiles stands out from any devotional I've come across. This book not only compels readers to love the story of Scripture more but also encourages weary exiles to find hope in Christ - engaging our senses and imagination with biblical truth. It is a deeply encouraging read that will move you to rejoice in Christ's first coming and yearn for his return-a perfect choice for the Advent season." -Hunter Beless, Founder of Journeywomen Ministries and author of Read it, See it, Say it, Sing it!
