Becky Kiser

This is an excellent resource. About 5 years ago, I started thinking more intentionally about the holidays, especially the Advent season and the days leading up to Easter. I prayed and sought advice from others. I was able to observe how godly friends celebrated these holidays, and I implemented those ideas. When I got married a few years ago, the things I had implemented for the holidays became more difficult and it was harder to figure out how to do this as a couple.

This book is one I wish would have been written years ago, and I am so thankful that it has been written now. Becky Kiser takes all of her experience as a wife, mother of 3, and ministry leader to offer tools that help us not only refocus our holiday season, but also have fun. In each chapter, she takes a major holiday or season and gives very practical ideas on how we can make that holiday sacred. Beyond the sacred, she also provides practical ways we can have fun and live intentionally in that season. Not only does she talk about focusing on Christ and having fun, but she also addresses struggles that may make a holiday difficult to celebrate.

This book is loaded with Scripture, Bible reading plans, journaling prompts, goal setting ideas, lists of fun things to do and activities that kids could enjoy.

If you are tired of the crazy and feel like you are missing the point, give this book a try. If you are a believer and you want more from the holidays and don‰ÃƒÂ›Ã‚ªt know where to begin, this book is an excellent resource for you.

While this book offers many suggestions for families and children, this book is just as useful for single adults and couples without children. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to any believer. Personally, this is a book I will keep on hand and use as a tool to help guide holiday seasons now and in the future.
