This Advent, lead your family closer to Christ as you prepare for the Lord’s coming at Christmas. Engage with the Old Testament patriarchs and prophets who are the branches in Jesus’ family tree and come to understand fully how, in Christ, this family history becomes the history of our salvation.

Through this book, learn about the rich, faith-building customs surrounding the Jesse Tree throughout the centuries — and how to create your own. The image of a beautiful ornament signifying an important person or event in the Bible is provided for each day. The daily meditation explains the mystery of the ornament that is featured. And extra information is included for families with older children who want to “dig deeper” into the significance of what is foretold.

The devotion in practice takes five to fifteen minutes per day, depending on family needs and style. Each day features the following:

• Full-color ornament with a distinguishing symbol
• Biblical passage or story illustrating the theme
• Brief, engaging meditation with questions for discussion
• Traditional prayer to enrich the devotion
• “Dig Deeper” section for real-life application
