Start a family tradition of celebrating Christ’s birthday through the month of December.  This book is filled with 100 pages of special activities for families to share this special time together.  Have special family devotions so children learn about Jesus and how special he is.  Christmas is the perfect time to show Jesus just how wonderful he is by celebrating his birthday as a family.  Children will learn how giving to others is giving to Jesus.  Children begin a tradition of making love coupons to be distributed at Christmas time or used throughout the year for special giving times.  Decorate your home and show the true reason for Christmas.  There are patterns to make Christmas ornaments of some of the monograms of Christ and to decorate a Chrismon tree.  Children make an advent wreath and count down the weeks until Christmas by lighting a candle and reading the poem to signify something special about Jesus.  Pass to your child a Christmas family heritage to be carried to generations to come.

This book is a personal guide to help children ages 8-12 build character values.  There are 118 pages of devotions and bible verse studies that speak directly to the child and are in their language.  The songs have familiar tunes with new words, so they are easily sung.  The recipes and craft activities are simple and easily prepared by the child. 

The book is written for a child’s personal devotions, but they can also be used for family devotions with children, home school devotions,  in a classroom or anywhere children are present.  They are a great resource for teachers, parents, grandparents, club leaders or anyone who cares for children.  A child who makes Bible study and prayer a part of their daily life will develop morals—what a rewarding task!  This book helps to build character one child at a time.
