Wonders of His Love: Finding Jesus in Isaiah, Family Advent Devotional - Hardcover

by Champ Thornton (Author), Jeremy Slagle (Illustrator)

Wonders of His Love is a family Advent devotional that helps parents and children celebrate Christmas by exploring the promised coming of Jesus through the vivid images of Isaiah.

Designed especially for busy families with younger children, this four-week devotional traces some of Isaiah's most striking pictures of the coming Savior--Jesus the Light, the Branch, the Shepherd, and the Savior--before concluding on Christmas Day with Jesus the Bread. By connecting these Old Testament promises to Jesus's birth, death, and resurrection, it helps children see the true meaning of Christmas and the wonder of God's plan to save his people from sin and sorrow.

Written by award-winning author Champ Thornton, each week includes themed readings along with stories, discussion questions, crafts, recipes, games, and family service ideas that make Advent both engaging and easy to lead at home. Wonders of His Love gives families a simple, Christ-centered way to build meaningful Christmas traditions and draw closer to Jesus together.
