From the moment Adam and Eve sinned, God promised a Savior. What better way to prepare for Christmas together with your family than by reflecting on His promises as you and your children anticipate celebrating Jesus’ birth?
Promises Made, Promises Kept: A Family Devotional for Christmas is a beautifully illustrated hardcover book that applies a clever design to help tell the complete story of God’s eternal King by visually dividing the Old Testament prophecies from the fulfilment of those prophecies revealed in the Gospels.
During the seven days before Christmas, your family will read Promises Made and learn from the retelling of seven Old Testament stories that predict the coming of a Savior. Then, on Christmas Day, you’ll flip the book upside down and for the next seven days read Promises Kept, exploring how God fulfilled these predictions by sending His Son Jesus. The visual reversal of the book will help children see the way that the world was figuratively turned upside down when Christ came to earth as a baby to save all who will believe in His name. Promises Made, Promises Kept is a great way for you to help your family focus on the true meaning of Christmas during this hectic time of year, when it’s easy to become distracted.
Promises Made, Promises Kept is written for school-age children to easily understand. Each reading is followed by a few questions to prompt family discussion. The book provides the Scripture references with each chapter so older children can dig into God’s Word for themselves. You’ll also find answers to the questions at the end of each chapter to give you confidence as you discuss the stories together.
This book is full of colorful illustrations that will hold everyone’s attention, and the introduction also provides fun ideas to incorporate into your Christmas morning celebration.
