What readers are saying:

This advent devotional is perfect for a busy family who wants to be able to focus on the story of Jesus coming to be with us daily, but without battling wiggly kiddos or short attention spans.

My favourite thing though, is the way Jessica was able to emphasize the character of God and immutable truths about Him in a conversational, yet truthful way.

Jessica brings a refreshing perspective to the Christmas story, highlighting the actual meaning of the text with historical context. Not only will my children be learning a much more accurate version of the story than I grew up with, I also had the chance to re-examine some how my Western/American mindset has twisted my view of what Scripture actually says. I learned so much from this study, and yet each day was incredibly bite-sized and manageable.

Her voicing is exactly how I would talk to my children, but the wording is so powerful that I found myself in tears at a few passages because the impact of God’s love was still maintained at full strength.

I was so encouraged by the way women were included beyond just a few words about Mary, I didn’t feel erased from the story based on my gender, but rather encouraged that God uses everyone for very important roles.

So excited to have this resource for my family this year!”

perfect for a busy family who wants to be able to focus on the story of Jesus!
