    I personally have not come across a great deal of material for Advent. After reading Nancy Guthrie's Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room I believe I found an wonderful tool which will serve families throughout the holiday season. Families often get caught up in the busyness of preparing their home for family, traveling, pictures, decorating, getting presents, and cooking meals. In the midst of this chaos, it is hard to restore order and bring your family together even for a short period of time. With a newborn, a fulltime job, church, and fulltime school it is difficult to prepare family devotions and find the time to prepare the needed material to lead my family through this holiday season. Guthrie has done a great service for the church by providing a quick, simple devotional book, which will help prepare you family for the holiday season. Guthrie does all the hard work for you. Guthrie provides devotions, prayers, and discussion questions for your family helping those families whom may be pressed for time. Guthrie's book is not light either. Guthrie discusses and develops many theological points throughout the book. Guthrie discusses man's depravity, God's faithfulness to his covenant promises, God's sovereign work in salvation, the second coming, Christ as the Second Adam, and she demonstrates a good understanding of biblical theology. Guthrie finds creative ways to explain and illustrate redemptive history through the lens of the Christ's birth. There were several things I thoroughly enjoyed about Guthrie's book. First, I enjoyed greatly the fact that one Christmas Eve and Day she has the readers read through the birth of Christ in every gospel. All too often we talk about Christ but we never dive into scripture itself during the Christmas season. Second, Guthrie concludes each devotion with discussion questions, prayers, and more scripture for families to examine that relate to the daily devotions. Third, I thoroughly enjoyed the historical background Guthrie provides for different Christmas hymns which forces to pay more attention to the lyrics in which you sing and hear throughout the holidays. Fourth, Guthrie gives the families challenges to memorize passages in preparation for the holidays. Finally, after Christmas Guthrie shifts the focus to preparing the reader (s) for the New Year. Guthrie challenges the reader as they begin the year to setting Christ centered goals and strive to meet them as a family.

    Each year as we approach the Advent / Christmas season, I promise myself that we are going to focus on Jesus... not our busy-ness. Each year I pull out the Advent devotionals, Advent calendar, and the Advent candles. And yet, each year my good intentions go undone or are so hit-and-miss that we really are not focusing on the birth of Jesus.

    Not this year! After reading through Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room by Nancy Guthrie, I know my good intentions will become a reality! Each day's reading is short enough to keep the interest of the youngest in the family and includes Discussion Starters to challenge your older teens and adults. These questions help focus the discussion on Jesus and include additional Bible verses to read and ponder. Interspersed through the book are Christmas hymns, not only the hymns, but also background on the music, words, and history of the time. Also, each day includes a prayer to keep the focus on Jesus.

    This is a great resource and I look forward to spending quality time with the family as we remember and celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

    This book was really great and helped in my goal of having a wonderful, rediscovering Christmas holiday. They girls loved all their few gifts, we read lots from the bible and did lots of christian crafts.

    I'm glad I have this book in my Holiday book home library and know I'll be using this for every Christmas. I loved that this book was geared towards kids of all ages and the girls looked forward to the daily devotions and activities.

    Thank you tyndale for allowing me to review this book
