Advent Adventure The Jesse Tree Devotional

By Mary Ann Eagleson

Looking for a fun way to celebrate Advent and Christmas with your family? This hands-on Advent devotional uses the tradition of the Jesse Tree, making the story of God's work come alive through photos that relate to the book's approachable historical insights for 28 days. Designed by a mom and Christian educator with over 3 decades experience in getting families excited about Advent, this devotional offers well-researched history in an engaging tone. Curious about what role an Awassi sheep or an Assyrian army tent might have played in our Christian History? You can explore these and other intriguing objects and events as an individual or a family. Even the youngest child can take part in some aspects, while older children and adults can ponder the wonder and joy of Christmas explored in this devotional. The book has a unique feature in that the symbols, though traditional for the Jesse Tree, are represented by actual photos of probable related objects and places, or a piece of relevant artwork when more appropriate. As such, this book helps drive home the concept that the coming of Jesus is more than a nice story: It is the most significant historical event in human history, the greatest Christmas gift given for all. Instructions on creating your own Jesse Tree Advent Calendar activity that correlates to the book and utilizes some inexpensive separately purchased items (two inch cubed gift boxes, Bakers string and printable photos) are included. The book provides a link to downloadable and printable mini photos that are identical to the photos in the book. Readers can simply cut these out, and place them on their Jesse Tree, whether the model in the book, or their own creation. The book can stand alone if the participants prefer to use it without the actual Jesse Tree itself.
