God With Us

About this book

The "God With Us" devotional book is designed to make the celebration of Advent simple, memorable, and gospel-focused for the entire family. Daily readings corresponding with twenty-five symbols, short prayers, and extension activities provide a flexible and engaging approach to celebrating Advent for children ages 4-14, and the adults who love them. Scripture references are provided for each day and can be read from your family's preferred translation. This book follows the Jesse Tree tradition, tracing 25 stories from the Old and New testaments that point ahead to the coming Messiah. Simple yet beautiful images depicting each story accompany each day's reading, drawing in children and adults alike to the story of God's love as shown in the birth of Jesus. Appendices at the back of the book list the verses referenced for each reading in full (NIV), as well as images of each day's ornament or symbol that can be cut out and made into ornaments. **Please note, felt ornaments depicted are part of book cover art and are not included with the book. Assembled and DIY wooden ornaments with each day's image are available on Amazon** Gather your family to recount what God has done, who He has been, and who He still is to His people. As one generation commends your works to another (Ps. 145:4), you will find your attention rightly focused on God's magnificent gift to His people at Christmas - Jesus Christ, God with us.
