In the flurry of holiday activity, take time to pause and prepare your heart for Christmas. Preparing for Christmas: A 4-Part Study invites you to reflect on the birth of Christ, explore the rich Christian tradition of Advent, and look with hopeful anticipation toward Jesus’ second coming. Use this study individually, with your family, or as a starting point for group discussion as you focus your heart on what Christmas truly means.

In Preparing for Christmas: A 4-Part Study you’ll discover:

  • Deeper meanings behind Old Testament prophecies about Jesus’ birth.
  • Ponder what it must have been like for Joseph, Mary, the shepherds, or even the Magi.

attention on what Christmas means.
