The Adventure of Christmas

Colin Buchanan

'Wow!’ That’s what I thought when I stepped into The Adventure Of Christmas! Wow—it’s such a well-thought-through and cleverly-designed guide for families of all ages! Wow—it’s so easy to use! Wow—what wise and helpful and practical words! And this amazing adventure leads so beautifully and wonderfully to the biggest wow of all—the baby in the manger, our Saviour and King, Jesus!

The Adventure of Christmas is a remarkable achievement. With captivating illustrations and a simple but compelling approach to storytelling, Ed Drew has written an inspiring Advent devotional, grace-filled and truth-soaked and entirely approachable. Each page from the Christmas story comes to life, and the questions and activities are thoughtful but not over-burdensome. I’m so grateful for this new doorway into Advent season with my family.

“A real gift for making family Bible time easy”

Our family is using this for Advent 2021, and we (4, 7, 42 and 42) are loving it. It's just the right length for young ones to stick with, and having questions aimed at different ages means we all get something out of it, and can share Bible time together.

The format is easy, and requires minimal preparation (also useful for tired parents trying to cram in Bible time as part of the bedtime routine!), but there is also flexibility so we can do as much or as little as we think they can manage on any given day. We sometimes do the suggested activities, which make it more interactive and fun, but if time is short we can just have the reading and questions and pray.

We find it works really well with the advent calendar, too.

We were fans with Ed Drew's Easter devotional for families, and this is just as good. This will not be the only year we use it, I'm sure!

“Great biblical truths, manageable for the whole family.”

Clear, biblical, and easy to do with a variety of ages, with helpful suggestions for each age. A good length to be able to actually manage each day. My 3 year old, 5 year old and my husband and myself all get something out of it each day.

“Fantastic!”

We've started our adventure early (school and shops have been full of Santa and presents for ages, so we wanted to get in with the real Christmas!), and we are really enjoying it! The studies are brief but full of truth and helpful application for all of us - our kids are 5, 8, 10 and 12, and all get something out of this. As parents we are being refreshed in the joy of Christmas too. The activities are really good - the kids loved making biscuit eyeballs to remind them that Luke used eyewitness testimony, so we can trust what we read! We would recommend this to any family.
