I received a free copy of this product in exchange for writing a review. All opinions are my own.
This little book is perfect to enjoy in those few moments of the morning before the rest of the household wakes up.
It's an Advent devotional that helps you recapture the amazement of Christ at Christmas by focusing on the different names of Jesus found in Scripture.
The book is divided into four sections (one for each week of Advent) titled hope, preparation, joy & love. Each week begins on Sunday with an "Advent Celebration" that encourages you to invite your whole family to participate in.
You'll be led through prayer, Scripture readings, discussion questions, group responses, and songs before finally lighting that week's candle.
Five days of devotional readings follow, fitting in nicely during each weekday. Besides including a Bible verse and the text, each day also includes a personal challenge, prayer and further verses to study which relate to that day's theme.
The week concludes with family activities, which are just perfect to enjoy together on Saturday before beginning the week anew.
Besides the activities included in the book, there are plenty of printable resources available by free download to enhance your use of this special book.
This entire book could easily be used during family time, yet I'm most looking forward to enjoying it alone to help focus my heart throughout the week. I can still invite my Gs to join in with the suggestions on the weekends, but it gives me the chance to take a breath alone during this busy season as well.
I'm really looking forward to adding this book to this year's Advent! You can pick up a copy for yourself here and spend the season unwrapping the names of Jesus with me.
Do you long for a bit of alone time to get your heart quiet with God during this busy season? I'd love to hear! Either leave a comment below or email me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.
