New Advent Devotional for Kids & Families
Discovering Christmas offers so much in one little package! Twenty-five days of devotions countdown to Christmas. Each includes a short, interesting devotion to introduce each topic, Read About It - a Scripture reading, Talk About It - discussion questions, Go About It - fun activities and Pray About It - a short prayer.
The author has done a marvelous job weaving together the Christmas story, the Gospel message from Genesis to the resurrection, and practical ways to live out our faith altogether in one continuous story format giving a wonderful foundation of God’s Word.
An example of the commentary included from Day 17 – “The Shepherds’ Visit” is: “The angels could have gone to kings and queens or other important leaders to announce Jesus’ birth. But instead, they went to some ordinary people who were just doing their daily work. Why did the angels do this? Maybe to show that Jesus came for all people – both the fancy and not-so-fancy.”
On the days the story of the Wise Men is told, it also addresses how important it is to have God’s Word when making decisions and the joy that comes from giving. One of the activities on these days is to look at the stars at night and locate various constellations.
The illustrations are colorful and depict a variety of families of different ages and diversity. The children also vary even including one in a wheelchair and one with vitiligo (an autoimmune condition which causes the skin to be two tones). I love that she included these not only so that children with these unique characteristics will feel included, but also to condition others towards acceptance of differences.
This book would be great for family devotions with children of varying ages or as a personal devotion to be read aloud or on their own.
Thank you to Netgalley and Tommy Nelson Publishing for the digital ARC. All opinions are my own.
