Favorite Books for Advent
In our family, we love slowing down over the month of December and settling into a quiet, devotional rhythm. We focus on family togetherness around our fireplace; talking, reading, and baking together as the cold dark days of winter settle in.
We love incorporating advent guides into our evening routines, and included a few of our favorites here.
All Creation Waits
All Creation Waits is a beautiful book that ties the winter lives of animals with the season of waiting for Christmas. It’s the spine book for our advent guide, Unearthing Wonder, which contains 25 days of lessons and activities centered around the stories in All Creation Waits. The guide is meant for the whole family, and could be an evening devotional or a morning time resource.
Jotham’s Journey is the advent devotional that we are using with our The Precious People study. It follows a boy in his adventures in Ancient Rome at the time of Jesus birth and includes daily readings and reflections.
Unwrapping The Greatest Gift
I printed an early edition of this Jesse Tree themed devotional way back when it was on A Holy Experience Blog. Now you can get a beautiful read aloud edition, with the hopeful and inspiring words of Ann Voskamp to lead your advent celebrations.
Prepare Him Room
A new one that we haven’t read yet is by a favorite devotional author, Marty Machowski. We have used his children’s devotional books for the last few years of school and are excited to check this one out.
The Christmas Guide
Here at The Peaceful Press, we also created this Christmas Guide. The focus is on fun activities to do with your children over the four weeks of Christmas, including weekly nativity stories, favorite Christmas books, crafts, recipes, handmade gifts, games, and more.
