"I read this to my children every year in December to commemorate the Advent season, to help them understand why Jesus came and how the Christmas story is seen throughout the Bible."
"I am very excited to make a Jesse tree with my family this year. Today, as we were browsing at the library I saw this book, and liked it's approach to the tree, although it would be better used in conjunction with another devotional or how-to, I think. Normally during advent I use Lisa Whelche's book 'The AdVENTure of Christmas', which I have enjoyed, but I am ready for a shake-up and love the idea of using the Jesse Tree to show the Old Testament pointing to Christ. This has been a theme at Eli's school this year, not to mention in my study and deeper understanding of scripture. Praise God for the story he has given."
"This is a new book that I purchased this year for Advent. You will need to come up with your own Jesse Tree symbols (if you want to do that) or you can just read this story -- one part each day for the month leading up to Christmas. I can't wait to read it with the girls. It is a very creative way to tell the story of God's plan, beginning with Creation, leads up to Christ. Make sure you buy the hard cover copy -- the soft cover is like a "novellette" and doesn't have the nice pictures that add so much for kids."
