"But why mom? Why did Jesus need to come as a baby?"

Advent readings often focus on the lineage of Jesus. While these readings include stories of the people leading up to Jesus, the focus is different. It looks at the advent story from a cosmic perspective, examining the significance of Jesus birth in light of the ongoing story of redemption that arcs through history, as laid out in scripture.

Carrien Blue wrote this series of advent devotionals because she wanted a simple and meaningful advent practice that fit her needs as a busy mom of 4 little people and couldn't find one that was geared towards helping children understand the scope of the Big Christmas Story.

This book will help make advent a beloved part of your family's Christmas traditions.
