It's the most wonderful time of year, isn't it? And while some scoff at carols being sung on the radio before December 1, Christians throughout history have embraced this season of spiritual preparation using Advent readings-short Bible passages read during the lighting of the Advent wreath. This book was written to help children (and adults!) learn more about Jesus, his ancestors and those who rejoiced at his birth.

In addition to the short devotional readings for every night of Advent, symbols can be hung on a small tree or branch to remember Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jonah, Isaiah, Ruth, Daniel, John the Baptist, Mary, Joseph, the Wise Men and Jesus. A page with symbols is included in this e-book or you can design your own.
