  • Description

    This four-week Advent family devotional by best-selling author Marty Machowski combines devotions on the theme of light and darkness with the story of eleven-year-old Mia and her grandmother as they prepare for Christmas. Mia spends December with her grandmother each year, and their shared devotional time points children and families to the light of Jesus.

    Although Mia's grandmother is blind, she shares a deep, living faith that helps Mia understand how the biblical theme of light weaves through the Christmas story and God's plan of salvation. The narrative sections featuring Mia and her grandmother provide a warm, relatable framework for family Bible study and conversation.

    The Light Before Christmas contains thirteen devotionals: three for each of the four weeks of Advent and one additional devotional for Christmas. Each reading includes a Scripture for the day, an object lesson or activity, a focus Scripture, a question to discuss as a family, a song to sing together, and a closing prayer.
