What ministry leaders are saying…
I have known Kirrily for several decades - both as a C3 Church pastor and as a dear friend. Her unwavering devotion to Christ and the Church, through many seasons of joy and trial, marks her as a true servant of the Lord. Her creative endeavours, both as an author and in ministry, are exceptional - colourful and joyful, always encouraging others. Kirrily is one of the kindest women I know. This devotional will be a wonderful source of encouragement to all generations. It will no doubt awaken in many a fresh hunger for the Word of God, His presence and daily time with Jesus. Without hesitation, I commend this book.
Ps Chris Pringle
Co-Founder, C3 Church SYD and C3 Church Global
“Captivated by Christmas is a joyful and rich invitation to journey with God through the Christmas season and be captivated afresh by His profound love. Kirrily’s rich biblical insight, poetic language and prophetic voice make this 25-day Advent journey both deeply nourishing and delightful. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to encounter the wonder of Christmas in a fresh way.”

“Captivated by Christmas is a refreshing and insightful devotional that invites us to see the Christmas story with fresh eyes. In the rush towards Christmas each year, how often do we miss the beautiful hidden gems within the greatest story ever told? Taking time each day in December to pause, ponder and be captivated afresh by Christ’s arrival through Kirrily’s words is a wonderful investment. It captured my heart, and I know many members of The Avalon Church were captivated too. Perfect for personal reflection or for sharing together in a Connect Group.”
