Summary

Create meaningful Advent memories with the whole family using this gorgeous illustrated 25-day devotional.

The whole Bible whispers about a coming King. Every book before His arrival gives hints about what He might be like, and during Advent, families around the world gather to wait and prepare for the celebration of His birth. The One We Waited For is a 25-day family experience that will help kids from one to ninety-two anticipate and celebrate Christmas. This book includes

• Daily Bible stories, taking families through the arc of the Old Testament
• Gorgeous illustrations by Aedan and Natalie Peterson
• Suggested songs for family worship
• Reflection questions to start meaningful conversations
• And cut-out ornaments to decorate your tree every day leading up to Christmas

​Each day, families can read a story, discuss how they see Jesus in Old Testament narratives, sing songs together, and place an illustrated ornament on the tree so that every day of December leading up to Christmas is filled with eager anticipation for the King––the one we waited for.
