Christmas Time (children's book)

Since Christmas is such a captivating time of year, it’s the perfect setting for telling children about the miracle of the Lord Jesus Christ’s birth. Using selected passages from the first chapters of the gospels of Matthew and Luke, Christmas Time – It’s All About Jesus tells the story of Jesus’ birth in a delightfully poetic and child-like way. The sensational illustrations create an unforgettable image, so a child can always remember the true meaning of Christmas.

As an added bonus, Pastor Russ and Sue have developed devotionals to be used by families to enrich their Christmas celebrations. These are complete with attributes and names of Jesus, questions for discussion, and activities to do as a family to share Christ with those around them. Coupled together, this story and devotionals will enhance your celebration of Christmas during the season and all year long!


The Christmas story told in easy to understand verse.  The illustrations are adorably colorful and while my 16 month old grandson wasn't interested (at this time) in the words, he did like the pictures.  It will be a yearly go to story as he grows older.  Included with the book are ideas for family devotions and activities.

Oh, I like it! At least once a week Gage will choose his Bible to read at bedtime and he is very serious about choosing the stories he wants :) He would love this.
