This series of devotionals is best for families with older children. It relies heavily on reading aloud contributions from authors Charles Colson, Billy Graham, Max Lucado, and Joni Eareckson Tada. It has hymn lyrics, poems, prayers, Word studies, Scripture passages, discussion questions, and family activities. My favorite activites from the book are: - Make a Psalm Palm by having each person write a short things praising God for who He is what he has done on narrow strips of green paper, then glue them on a big piece of paper in the shape of a palm branch. - Family sunrise service: choose a place where you can watch the sun rise as you read and pray together as a family, followed by a special breakfast.

Christ in Christmas: A Family Advent Celebration

Editorial Reviews Review This is a wonderful collection...a very attractive and useful book. -- Librarian's World, November 1990

Product Description MAKE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EVER! Most of us prepare for Christmas by shopping, traveling, baking, bustling, wrapping gifts, and sending cards. By the time December 25th rolls around, we're exhausted! But there is a better way to prepare for the Christmas season-it's called Advent, and it takes place during the four weeks preceding Christmas.

Advent refers to the "coming" or "arrival" of Jesus Christ, and its purpose is to help us find special moments during the Christmas season to ponder and celebrate Christ's coming to earth. So why not help your family experience all the warmth and richness of our most treasured holiday season with Christ in Christmas: A Family Advent Celebration. Woven around five major devotionals by contributing authors Boice, Dobson, Sproul, and Swindoll, are hymns, prayers, scripture passages, Christmas carols, questions to ponder, a complete Advent Scripture reading plan, and special activities to help you build family traditions for years to come.

Christ in Christmas. A perfect way to make sure the Light of the world shines brightly in your home this holiday season.

Each day has a passage from the Bible already included. The devotions for Sunday inculde songs, prayers, a family activity, a passage from the Bible, and a short story written by one of the contributing authors. We have used the book in our family for a few years. It helps to bring the true meaning of Christmas alive for children. I would recommend the book especially for families with children who are 5 years of age and older.

Plummer (Southern California, United States) - See all my reviews I bought this book when my oldest child was about 4 years old. I had seen children all around me concentrate on "gimmee" and wanted a different emphasis for my children. Advent begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas. This book can be used in 2 ways: Either light a candle and read only the 4 Sundays before Christmas and Christmas Eve, or light a candle and read each night. The first week of nightly readings addresses the creation of man and his fall from grace, the second week addresses the prophecies of the Messiah,the third addresses the birth of Jesus, and the fourth addresses the ministry of Jesus on Earth. The last section is about the promises of Jesus' return and is for those few days that often fall between the last Sunday and Christmas Eve. Sunday readings are the Christmas Story. My children look forward to the family time each evening. They have come to understand the full story. It has helped move our Christmas' emphasis back onto Christ. This would be great for any family with children under 10.
