Description

Finding good advent books can be difficult.  Sometimes they are time consuming and overwhelming.  Often I have good intentions, but then I don’t follow through because it is already a crazy time of the year.

I am excited about this advent book because it is written by Marty Machowski.  He wrote the devotionals Long Story Short and Old Story New.  He simplifies his devotionals drawing on the importance of the Old Testament as to how it relates to the New Testament.  This advent devotional is no different.  He focuses on the prophesies of Christ and brings the Gospel story of the birth of Christ to life through fun and simple devotions that you do as a family three times a week.  We will be using this book this year, and hope that you will enjoy it too.
