Book excerpt: Advent is the time of year just before Christmas when we prepare ourselves and our homes for celebrating the birth of Jesus. It is a time full of preparations. We clean and decorate. We make, bake and buy gifts for our friends and family. We attend parties at our schools, churches and at the homes of our friends and family. This is also the time when we prepare our hearts to worship. It is a time when we read and focus on the stories in our Bible that tell us about Jesus' birth. Each Advent season offers us an opportunity to hear the Christmas story again and gives us the challenge of finding new meaning in this familiar story. This devotional book is a special way for children to prepare for Christmas. Parents can even use this guide to work together with their child to make this experience one to treasure for years to come. Each page of this book has a short reading about the Christmas story that matches a letter of the alphabet for each day of Advent. Each day also has an opportunity for both younger and older children to reflect, through journaling or drawing, on the day's lesson. This is a time to get ready for something new and exciting. Go now and listen to the Christmas story again and treasure its moments of new discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christmas story and the origin of many holiday traditions are thoroughly detailed in the text of S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet. The first Christmas cards were printed and sold in the United States by a German immigrant in 1874. Long ago, eating pie was believed to bring good luck, and during the holidays they were baked in an oblong shape to look like a manger. The message of Christmas is a message to all the world and is beautifully conveyed and illustrated in S is for Star. Our tradition of gift-giving is based on the Wise Men's visit to Baby Jesus. Nearly every country has its own gift-giving traditions. In Great Britain, children eagerly await Father Christmas. In France, he is called Pere Noël. In Italy, Befana brings presents, and German and Austrian children wait for a visit from the Christkindl. Celebrate these and many other traditions of the holiday season with S is for Star: A Christmas Alphabet.

Book excerpt: Hear from “those who told the story first.” You may or may not know the story of your birth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mercy & Melons, each letter of the alphabet calls forth two words: a word that celebrates an ordinary thing, and another word that names a holy quality about God. Those pairings speak to each other. For those who pay attention to those pairings, they discover something about prayer and about God. This companion guide to Mercy & Melons offers a practical guide to living and exploring and praying those pairings in our daily life--as we look for beauty and hope in the “ordinary” things around us. Each of the 26 chapters focuses on four ways to explore those pairings: Ask Practice Implement Center “Praying the alphabet allows us to be thorough in our prayers because each letter conjures up something we might not otherwise have remembered: mercy, melons. Suddenly, we can taste both.” Use this companion along with Mercy & Melons or as its own guide to prayer, for a retreat, for Lent, or any time you want to explore praying in new ways.
