Review:

A beautiful book that traces the reason for Advent through the Bible in rhyming meter and verse, expertly pulling out themes and promises that God fulfilled through Jesus' birth.

A stunning book that can be enjoyed by the whole family, written in a powerful and melodic style showing God's promises and our need for a Savior. I loved how it starts in Genesis with creation, then goes as a sort of overview through the Bible showing major themes, and how God's promise will bridge the chasm between us and God. This book is honestly the most poignant and powerful, yet at the same time written in a way that makes it easy to explain difficult themes and why Jesus was the only answer to meet our great need.

Such a powerful book, perfect for sharing with your family the hope we have in Jesus. Perfect for Advent or for all year round. I highly recommend this book for every family!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

About the Author

Maggie Philpot wrote her first children’s story when she was in middle school (a story about an egg named Eggbert) and she has been dreaming up stories ever since. She lives in Fort Worth with her spectacular husband (whom she calls Husband), her two precocious children, and a rather ridiculous dog, Tucker. She is passionate about anything and anyone who attempts to make beauty, order, and meaning in this crazy world. The simple act of writing is one way to do just that.
