Publisher's Synopsis
Simple and delightful, this book alone will take your child, and your entire family, on an unforgettable journey. Children are guided along the path of Christmas by peering into the stable, approaching the manger and beholding Christ at his birth. Nestled and swaddled in warm clothes, lying in soft, dry grass is the greatest gift ever given to all mankind. Travel this Christmas season, day by day, through an Advent Calendar full of daily devotion toward the Nativity, Jesus, the babe, the Light of the World, lying in the manger. Look there, in the barn, beyond the wooden beams, there, lying in the hay inside the manger. Look! Finding Christmas in the Nativity will warm your heart and call you out of the world to the crib side of the newly born babe. The wonder-filled, vibrant and glorious act of our Savior being born in a stable among livestock, to fulfill a promise told, stills the heart and beckons us to follow. Beautifully displayed journal pages are graced with thumbnail masterpieces illustrated by the masters of old. With readings from Matthew, Luke and John, Nancy Gonzales takes you on a journey through the season each day with a reflection on the retelling of the Christmas story. Foretelling passages from Micah and Isaiah are woven through the devotions, making this a journey of discovery of how a promise is fulfilled through the passage of time. The Advent Companion Journal to Finding Christmas in the Nativity is for reflection in writing and was created to stand alone or go with the book, Finding Christmas in The Nativity.
