Advent: Preparing for Christmas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781942464402)

Advent, Preparing for Christmas will have your family lighting candles, reciting verses, singing Christmas carols, and praying together. Family members of any age will love the tradition and family bonding the book helps to create, as you walk through devotionals purposed for personal reflection, preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Advent should be participatory. Involve your children. Have them read Scripture, light the candles, participate in a discussion, sing the carols, read a devotional, say the closing prayer, and blow out the candles. We kept the format simple, short, and to-the-point so your children will stay engaged.

At the end of this guide, we have provided a journal to record special memories of Christmas. This allows us to reflect on God's goodness, the events, and the fun we have had through the years. Our prayer is that this guide will help you start an annual celebration of Advent with your family... that it will keep your Christmas focused on Jesus... and that it will help you create fun and meaningful spiritual memories!
