Advent and the Twelve Days of Christmas: A Jesse Tree Devotion

by Reta Robinson, Mary Wright (Editor)

Overview

This book was written to help prepare hearts and minds of all ages in a family setting for the GREATEST EVENT in human history when God, the Son, following the plans of God, the Father, in the power of God, the Holy Spirit became veiled in human flesh. And amazingly, not in a palace, not in a soft cozy bed, but in the humble circumstances of a barn in a time before cars and lights and planes and in a place far from the centers of power and influence. And this book ends in the celebration of the birth of the Son of God, the Messiah, the Christ and celebrates His birth for twelve days starting on Christmas Day.

If you are longing to refocus Christmas on Christ, then this is the guide for you! Advent is a meaningful time, but it is so easy to be swept into the busyness of the season and lose focus on the story at the center of it all. This devotional is a practical and entertaining way to engage the whole family in the redemptive story of God's love, from Creation to Jesus.
