Just in time for the holidays right around the corner, this 25-day devotional 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.
"Advent for Exiles is designed to help you make ready. Its primary aim is to whet your appetite for the coming of Christ," shares Caroline Cobb.
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 inspired this Advent devotional as she dove deeper into the poetic imagery of Isaiah and the biblical theme of exile. What began as a side project after her Christmas album, Cobb soon discovered that she had barely scratched the surface of the poetic imagery of Isaiah and began to write this book. With her music as inspiration, listen to the
devotional playlist on Spotify to accompany
Advent for Exiles.
Cobb adds, "I wanted to 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."

ABOUT CAROLINE COBB: Before her thirtieth birthday, Caroline Cobb set a goal to write a song for every book of the Bible in one year. That year set a new calling into motion: to tell God's Story through music and other creative work, helping you rehearse it and respond to it as you go about your everyday life. Her most recent album, Psalms: The Poetry of Prayer (May 2023) gives voice to a rich range of prayers from the Psalms and builds on Caroline’s previous storytelling projects A King & His Kindness (2021), A Seed, A Sunrise (2020), a Home & a Hunger (2017), and the Blood + the Breath (2013). Caroline has been featured by Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, The Rabbit Room, Risen Motherhood, and many more, with a Home & a Hunger named among “The Best Albums of the Decade (2010’s)” by The Gospel Coalition. She and her husband Nick live in Dallas, Texas, with their three children Ellie, Harrison, and Libby.
