If you are looking for something to make the holidays more meaningful, I would love to remind you about Celebrating the Story of Christmas. It is a 3 week advent family devotional. I wrote it years ago, but this timeless devotional has a new cover this year.
Celebrating the Story of Christmas is an Advent Family Devotional book that traces the story of Christ from the very beginning of the Bible in Genesis when sin entered the world to His return in Revelation.
This advent takes just three weeks to complete. It hits upon major Biblical events such as Noah, David and John the Baptist. In addition, there are Christmas tree icons on the pages of those in the family lineage of Jesus.
Each devotional includes:
- Setting the table (attention grabber)
- Digging in (devotion)
- Second helping (deeper study for teens
and adults) - Dessert (missional living idea).
The dessert portion includes one of the following categories
each day: pray, prepare, plan, perform, participate
You may choose to memorize the family memory verse together
