Kids love the anticipation of the Christmas season, opening advent calendars and counting down to December 25th. How can parents build on that excitement and teach kids that Jesus’s birth isn’t just one story of the Bible but is a central piece of God’s glorious plan to redeem his people?
Kevin DeYoung, pastor and author of the popular Biggest Story Bible Storybook, has written 25 brand new advent devotions for kids that start from the beginning of Scripture and feature a daily surprise. Each reading opens with a fun lift-the-flap page, which kids open to reveal a Bible passage and colorful illustration. On the opposite page, DeYoung retells a related Bible story or prophecy that foretold Jesus’s coming, and shares a simple prayer to recite. Helping kids understand God’s redemption story from Genesis to Jesus’s birth, this devotional is a fun, interactive way to center your holiday traditions on Christ and to see how he is the fulfillment of promises God made throughout Scripture.
