Following the Wise Men to Raise Wise Children

Following the Wise Men to Raise Wise Children

  As a homeschool dad, I love seeing my girls put aside their rivalries to put on a Christmas pageant. Last Christmas, our first grader organized a Christmas Eve pageant that she and her sisters put on for us and their grandparents. Of course, one of the cutest parts was when three little “wise” girls […]

6 Gift Ideas Kids Can Make

Christmas Books to Read and Treasure

The gift is often wrapped, but whether it is or not, she usually makes me close my eyes, adding to the suspense. Except it’s not a complete surprise—I know what’s coming, but not because I’ve gone around looking for […]

A Christmas Blessing for You

This season is a time for many things. It’s a time for colored lights, sparkling trees, warm drinks, favorite songs, and—hopefully—gently falling snow. But most importantly, this is the season to rejoice over the greatest blessing of all: Jesus Christ came to live among us. And through His sacrifice we have comfort and joy. Enjoy this […]

10 Ways to Make Christmas Memories

10 Ways to Make Christmas Memories

One of my earliest Christmas memories is of sitting with my family as we read aloud The Story of Christmas, a children’s book full of captivating illustrations depicting Christ’s birth with text from Matthew 1–2 and Luke 1–2. Why is this memory so vivid to me? Probably because my family repeats this scene every year. No matter […]

The Story Behind Benjamin’s Sling

The Story Behind <i>Benjamin’s Sling</i>

When JourneyForth approached me about writing a Christmas picture book, I jumped at the chance. What could be more enjoyable?
