This Advent Devotional is intended for busy families and is much shorter than our studies for homeschooling families. It begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas and runs through Christmas Eve. Each day leading up to Christmas has Bible readings, apologetics, beautiful art, and novel readings with notes. Weekend lessons are always optional and are much shorter—just a Bible reading and painting to look at. Stunning images appear on nearly every page to set the scene for both the Bible readings and the story. The Scripture begins with Genesis and points to Jesus in every lesson, ending on Christmas Eve with the Nativity. The novel, Treasures of the Snow, is needed for this devotional. Patricia St. John has been called “a poet of forgiveness” because her stories are interwoven with the Gospels and a focus on redemption. This story is much loved by children and adults alike and is a perfect addition to the Christmas season! This study is best for 5th grade and up, but younger children will enjoy the book, pictures, and much of the material also. Two homeschool versions of this Advent study offer more content, one for Elementary (K­5th), and one for families with older children. Fun add­ons include a coloring book and beautifully engraved wooden daily ornaments.
