As Advent approaches, here are two devotionals I’d recommend for your family this season.

Prepare Him Room: Advent Devotional

This devotional is designed to be used alongside the Sovereign Grace Music album of the same title. If your family hasn’t gone through these companion resources yet, you’re in for a treat! The album is my all-time favorite Christmas music, and it helps the stories of Advent come alive as you read and sing together.

A Jesus Christmas by Barbara Reaoch

This book introduces children to the amazing truth that God planned the first Christmas long before Jesus was born. Barbara takes readers on a journey through Scripture, pointing out the signposts that lead to the coming Savior and their fulfillment on the first Christmas Day. It’s an excellent family Christmas book with a powerful gospel message.

Each month, we’ll be sharing a resource recommendation from Marty Machowski — a pastor, author, and trusted voice in Sovereign Grace Churches — to help parents and ministry leaders disciple the children in their care. These picks will follow a monthly theme, and we hope they serve your families and congregations well.
