The Christmas season is full of excitement, anticipation, and busyness. Families who want to escape the breakneck pace for a few minutes a day and celebrate the true meaning of the season will appreciate the unique approach of this book. A daily devotional for families with young children, it ties various biblical characters-from both the Old and New Testaments-to the birth of the Messiah.
Each short story focuses on one person who looks forward to the coming of Christ and is followed by a Scripture reference and a prayer or responsive reading. Every devotional suggests a special activity for parents and children: singing a familiar carol, making Christmas decorations, participating in role playing, assisting in community projects, or baking holiday treats together.
Parents, teachers, and caregivers searching for ways to help children savor the season will welcome this devotional to their holiday celebration. It also makes a delightful pre-Advent gift.
