How many Christmas mornings have you found your family gathered around the tree with presents beautifully wrapped and a scrumptious feast on the table, but with hearts that have not been prepared to truly take in the wonder of God become human? Not this year. Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room, a family Advent devotional from Bible teacher and mom Nancy Guthrie, is designed to bring your family together during a season that is oftentimes too much about programs and presents, and simply not enough about Jesus. Along with devotions for every day in December, this resource includes explanations of some hard-to-understand aspects of popular Christmas carols, and discussion questions to draw in your elementary through high school-aged kids, transforming this time together from a dry lecture into a treasured family experience.

My Review:

I asked to review this book, planning on reading it to my 5 year old son each morning during the Advent. It was a little over his head but not for me. I found the book to be enjoyable. What a great daily devotional to spend with the Lord. As a mom of 3 at the time (4 now) each day is Biblically packed. I especially like after each devotional there are hyms to worship the Lord. Unfortunately as a busy mom I can't spend as much in God's Word as I would like and I found Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room sufficient to fill me up Spiritually! I look forward to when my children are older and we can read each Advent page as a family! What a great book to remind us what CHRISTmas is really about --- JESUS!
