THE WONDER OF CHRISTMAS

THE WONDER OF CHRISTMAS by Ken Petersen and Randy Petersen

I am going to go ahead and write about the Advent Devotional we are going through together as a family. Even though we are not all the way through, it has been such a great read. Each day focuses on a word such as Angel, Gifts, Herod, Immanuel, Manger, Caesar, Impossible, etc. The book then beautifully dives into the Biblical and historical context surrounding each chosen word. Sometimes it traces the thread back to other places in Scripture that link the words together giving an even deeper meaning. Closing the study out each day is a chosen carol that contains the word. Many times these are obscure carols, ones that we are not overly familiar with. We Google the songs and enjoy hearing a new piece. Overall, it has been a great study for our family! This definitely fits well if you have older children 7th grade and up!
