The were good -BUT
Published by Marsha , 1 year ago
Books arrived in great condition. I purchased 11. While they are beautifully written I do not feel they are geared that well for children. You would really need to modify the readings and projects in the books. I will have to keep looking.☹️
Using this for 15+ years

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.
A good book to use in families with young children.

The book is divided into daily devotions for each day of the four weeks of Advent. 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.
