Characters Of Christmas
$14.95Add to cartLearn Something New This Christmas. Every year we sit around our over-ornamented trees, read the Christmas story (usually from Luke 2), and talk about Jesus and Mary and Joseph. But what about the other guys? What about the shepherds and the wise men, Simeon and Anna, and Herod? What’s the deal with those characters? And what can they teach us about Jesus? That’s what The Characters of Christmas is all about. Each chapter explores a different perspective on the coming of Christ by looking through the eyes of an oft-overlooked character in the story. You’ll learn interesting background information, discover new aspects of the story, and consider questions you never thought about before. You’ll be amazed at how God used ordinary, everyday people to bring His Son into the world. Break free from the familiar this year, and discover something you never knew about the story you’ve always heard.

Unwrapping The Names Of Jesus
$14.95Add to cartHelp for focusing on Christ during Christmas
Most Christians agree that Christmas is all about Jesus, but most of us spend little time preparing our hearts to celebrate Him. Why is this? Quite simply, because no one taught us how.
In Unwrapping the Names of Jesus, Asheritah Ciuciu leads readers through the four weeks of Advent (Hope, Preparation, Joy, and Love) by focusing each day’s reflection on one name of Jesus. Each week begins with an interactive family devotional followed by five daily reflections, as well as suggestions for fun-filled family activities or service projects to enhance a family’s Advent experience.
Whether you use this devotional in your own personal worship time or as a tool to engage in family worship during the busy holiday season, you will gain a greater sense of awe and wonder at who Jesus is.
By focusing on the person and character of Jesus throughout the Advent season, your heart will be prepared to rejoice. When you admire a live nativity, sit in a candlelight service, or wake up on Christian morning, you can join the faithful who have gone before us and sing from the bottom of your heart, “O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!”
