Christmas isn’t that far away and what could be better than reading great books to our kids that reveal God’s faithfulness in sending Jesus? This isn't another Advent book (although we love those), it's one that can be read in 2 weeks(allows for a more flexible reading schedule in the midst of a busy season) and showcases the promises that God fulfilled in Jesus. What a great way to keep Jesus as the focal point of the season!
