Best Family Advent Devotionals & Calendars for 2022

Probably one of my all time favorites, although any of Ann Voskamp's books always teach and speak to me!

I was caught in Hannah's introduction to the book, paraphrasing, she says, "perhaps you are like me and get caught up in the season, loose the book for two weeks, or just don't have time to sit down and enjoy it, feel free to pick it up at any time, binge read a few sections or read it in a more traditional liturgical style." I've got this one coming too!

I've just ordered this one, I'm intrigued with their quick synopsis, "The Christmas Story as You've Never Heard It".

A long time family favorite of ours, this is great especially if you are making a long drive! Or take one Adventure a night and you will have a few weeks worth of exciting fun. Maybe drive around and see Christmas lights, light the fire and get in your PJ's and listen, make it an Adventure!

Shorter Advent devotional with scriptures, beautiful images and meaningful reminders of the reason behind the season.

The Christmas season is one of the busiest times of the year. But it is also a season of reflection and preparation for that special day when we mark Immanuel’s coming―the arrival of our eternal God in our own frail humanity.

That first Christmas, the world missed His coming. They missed worshipping the newborn King. Two thousand years later, people are still missing Him. What if you’re missing Him? But what would this Christmas be like if your heart was prepared to expect Christ? Expecting Christmas offers forty daily readings to help center your heart on the Christ of Christmas so you can respond to the peace, hope, and love made flesh in worship. This year let Christ fill your heart with the season of joy.

This year, don't let Christmas sneak up on you again.The wonder and awe of the Christmas season can easily get overshadowed by lights, tinsel, bows, and paper―not to mention last-minute trips to the mall and visits to the in-laws. In all the hustle and bustle, we often lose sight of what’s most important. This book of daily readings for the month of December by best-selling author Paul David Tripp will help you slow down, prepare your heart, and focus on what matters most: adoring our Savior, Jesus.

BILLY GRAHAM SPECIAL EDITION. 1990 THOMAS NELSON trade paperback, Michael Card (John: The Gospel of Wisdom). Take a walk through Jesus life for a new understanding of what, "Immanuel," or, "God with us," really means. Michael Card, in his unique style, walks with us by quoting scripture, telling stories that are true to the gospel, and with poetry (many have heard them put to music, such as El Shaddai, Come to the Table, Known by the Scars, Joseph's Song, etc.). This book covers Immanuel's incarnation, His ministry, and the Passion. Get ready to relax in the loving arms of, "God with us."

In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, Max will help you: 

• Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas who offers lasting hope.
• Lay down your endless Christmas to-do list and receive what Jesus has already done.
• Heal your heartache by embracing the God who is always near you, always for you, and always in you.

As you curl up in a comfortable spot and look into the odd, wonderful story of Bethlehem, may you find enduring hope for all seasons of your life. 

Experience the Christmas season anew this year by studying Advent, why we celebrate it, and how it fuels our worship of Jesus. Understand the anticipation and waiting the Old Testament world endured, the joy and new life signaled by the coming of Christ, and the way Advent points to the glory of God still to come.

A beautiful pictorial journey through Advent! By one of my favorite teachers and authors!

Experience each moment as our Savior becomes the center of this Christmas for you.

Another that our kids are now too old for, but Ann Voskamp always does a beautiful job!

From one of our favorite Children's Storybook authors comes the Christmas edition!

While we don't have this book, it appears to be a beautiful daily Advent storybook for kids (and I bet adults who read it to kids too!)
