Wow! What a terrific way to teach about God during the celebration of Christmas. Instead of an Advent calendar, consider using Countdown to Christmas: 24 Days of The Jesee Tree Tradition for a new and exciting family tradition. Twenty-four stories beginning with Adam and Eve and ending with the birth of Jesus tell the story of God’s plan for his people. Each story is simply written and is perfect for a joint family read-along. Instructions are given to create a family devotion and worship time each day. Small ornaments are also included to decorate a small tree focused on God rather than presents or Santa. Drawn from the eleven year old author’s (yes eleven!) own experiences celebrating with her family, this book will help families slow down and draw attention to the real reason for the season!

Recommended.

Audience: families.
