"Love Was Born at Christmas" is an Advent booklet designed especially for families with children. It contains 24 Advent devotions each having a short meditation, suggested scripture reading, and a prayer. The children participate by coloring one object from the accompanying manger scene, cutting it out, and pasting it onto the appropriate spot in the Christmas setting. Thus, the whole family can ready itself for the Christmas event through this simple Advent booklet.
