PAPERBACK AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
A 28-Day Christmas Devotional E-BOOK for Families with Prayers, Activities, Colouring Pages, Mazes and Scripture Memory Cards
This Christmas, will your family make room for Jesus?
On the first Christmas night, Bethlehem was full. Every room was taken, and the Son of God was laid in a manger. The people of Bethlehem were not wicked. They were simply busy.
Christmas can feel the same way in our homes. Between shopping, parties, concerts and travel, it is easy to reach December 26 and wonder where Jesus was in all of it.
Room for Him helps your family slow down and put Jesus back at the centre of Christmas. In 10 to 15 minutes a day, you will walk through the whole Christmas story together, from God’s first promise in the Garden of Eden to the shepherds, the angels, the wise men and the manger.
A big 8.5 x 11 inch book made for the family table. The large pages lie open so everyone can see, colour and take part together.
Four weeks. One question. Will we make room for Him?
- Week 1: Room to Wait (Hope). Discover how God kept every promise He made.
- Week 2: Room to Believe (Peace). Learn from Mary, Joseph, Zechariah and Elizabeth what it means to say yes to God.
- Week 3: Room to Rejoice (Joy). Celebrate the good news the angels announced to the shepherds.
- Week 4: Room to Worship (Love). Follow the wise men and bring your own gifts to the King.
Every week opens with a colouring page that brings the story to life.
Every day includes:
- A short Bible reading
- A warm devotion parents can read aloud
- Talk Together questions for little ones, older children and teens
- A family prayer, plus a simple prayer line children can repeat
- A “Do Today” activity that puts faith into action
Family activities your children will remember: a Promise Chain, a Yes Jar, a Make Room giving project, Gifts for the King, a week-by-week nativity build, and a Christmas Eve candlelight service you can lead at home.
Bonus activity pages at the back of the book:
- Names of Jesus word search
- Help Mary Find Elizabeth maze
- Road to Bethlehem map maze
- Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh colouring pages that teach children what each gift reveals about Jesus
- Gifts for the King cards to cut out, fill in and place by the manger
- Extra Christmas colouring pages
- Scripture memory cards to cut out for the fridge, a mirror or the dinner table
You do not need to be a Bible teacher to lead this. Just open the book, gather your family and begin. Start on the first Sunday of Advent, or whenever you pick it up. Grace, not guilt, is the rule.
Perfect for parents, grandparents, Sunday school teachers and church family ministries, and a meaningful Christmas gift for the families you love.
Give your family a Christmas they will treasure. Make room for Him.
