Experiencing Advent

I need the weeks leading up to Christmas. I’m not talking about the tinsel and the trees and the endless parade of gift exchanges. I’m talking about Advent: the season in which we believers step back and hold our breath, waiting for the fulfillment of a promise spoken painfully close to the words, “In the beginning.”

The season in which we wait upon Jesus.

I need the lead-up to Christmas. I need to remember the longing for salvation. I need to remember those who ached for His arrival. I need to make room in my life to focus on Him.

Maybe you need Advent, too. Or maybe you just want to dig deeper into the season with your family, preparing for Christmas not only by baking cookies and hanging stockings (all fun stuff!) but also by memorizing Scripture, uncovering the character of those in the Gospel telling, understanding the historical significance of aspects God wove into the birth of His Son. Maybe you want to make Advent more…

More meaningful.
More purposeful.
More memorable.
More fun.

If so, please consider purchasing the Advent study I wrote to accomplish just those things. Pulled from years of material I produced for my own family’s celebration, Experiencing Advent is designed to be flexible. Use it with Daddy around the breakfast table before he leaves for work. Set aside time during homeschooling to devote to the study. Make it part of your family Bible study. Use it in a way that best fits your family right now, in this season of life.

This isn’t a craft-heavy unit study that leaves your older kids drumming the table, waiting to be set loose. Neither is it a purely academic exercise that flies right over the heads of your littles.  Activities are included, but optional. And the learning? While it’s not light stuff, it’s designed to be accessible to young ones while still offering plenty of room for the kind of rabbit trails that allow for real ownership of the knowledge.

Experiencing Advent offers:

• More than 50 pages of study.
• A look at the historical period into which Jesus was born.
• Scripture memorization for younger and older children.
• An introduction to the symbols of the season.
• The history behind some of the season’s most God-honoring caroles.
• Bible scavenger hunts.
• Plans for Saturday Advent celebrations.
• Craft, recipe, and activity options.
• Four full weeks of lessons planned by day.
• Open-and-go learning.

We’re offering this study in an ebook format for just $8.99. Start your journey towards a more meaningful season today. Prepare your heart for Jesus, and experience Advent!
