Journey to Bethlehem
An Advent Calendar for All the Family
by Roger Langton
GoodBookStall Review:
Folded to A4 size but opening out to form a landscape on which are doors to open throughout December. On the back of the calendar are the full words for each door and you will find a shorter version of them on the back of each door facing the picture within. Turn the folds of the landscape and you will find suggestions for retelling the story with different age groups and for using the calendar for prayer and related activities. Very different from a secular calendar with its chocolates attached and hardly a hint of the Bible story. This is Christmas as the Bible tells it and used well, can involve all the family.
