"John the Baptist has always felt like the right person to get me ready for Christmas -- he's the anti-Santa needed for our day. Trade the jolly laugh for an in-your-face intensity, the twinkle in the eye for a wildness about to interrupt your life, commanding our attention but always redirecting it towards Jesus. "Prepare the way for the Lord" is the Advent call to get ready for the coming Messiah."
- Philip Reinders, from Seeking God's Face: Praying with the Bible through the Year (an excellent resource for private prayer, find it here )
