God Came Near

• Watchlist

As winter settles in with its deepest cold and darkness, Christians continue to look forward with hope to the joy of Advent. God Came Near invites viewers to step back into the moment when Christ left His place beside the Father to enter the world as a child in a manger. Filmed in the beautiful Blockley Church of England and narrated by pastor and author Max Lucado, this adaptation brings his beloved book to life. Across six DVDs, the series explores Simeon's long-awaited encounter with the Messiah, the journeys of Joseph and Mary, the real story of Saint Nicholas, the pressures of the holiday season, and the roots of Christmas traditions. Above all, Lucado urges viewers to follow the example of the wise men-seeking the Lord daily with intention and devotion.
