Celebrate Jesus Light of the World: An Advent Journey for Families Review and Giveaway!

Are you looking for an Advent guide for your family to begin using this Sunday for your journey into Advent? Look no further, friends, for I have the most wonderful resource to share with you today that is brought to us by Amy Blevins. Amy is a military wife and homeschooling moma of six children who blogs from California. You can find Amy at her websites, Bow of Bronze and Homeschool Encouragement. She has other wonderful resources that she has written in addition to what I am sharing about today, so please be sure to stop by either of her websites for more details about all she has to offer to homeschooling families. Now, let's take a look at this beautiful resource for celebrating Jesus this Advent season that is perfect for any family!

{This post contains affiliate links.}
Celebrate Jesus Light of the World: An Advent Journey for Families is an 81-page ebook that has everything you'll need to begin your Advent journey. Amy and her family have used all the ideas in this ebook at some point over the past 10 years as they have sought new ways of celebrating Jesus during Advent. As new ideas are thought of and used, they are added to this wonderful resource. I was given a copy of this beautiful ebook to review and I'm excited to share it with you today. My family will begin using the wonderful ideas inside this ebook tomorrow. This is first time we are taking an Advent journey with so much meaning as this one has tucked inside its pages. I'm really excited about starting this tradition in my home!

What's Included?
  • Instructions for beginning the Advent journey
  • Scriptures
  • Crafts and activities
  • Treats that are simple to make
  • Simple Christmas tradition suggestions you can add into your celebration of Advent
  • A master list that tells you exactly what you need on the date you need it
  • Daily Schedule
  • Family Christmas Recipes
  • Christmas copywork pages (24 pages total; available in KJV or ESV)

Daily Schedule
  • Scripture reading
  • Bible study preparation for mom and older teens
  • At the table together (Lighting of the candle, prayer, scripture reading and song)
  • Activity  (simple craft or easy recipe)


Amy has thought of everything and has been gracious enough to include it all - right down to her Family Christmas Recipes (a couple of the recipes are gluten-free)! Also included are some blank recipe cards to fill in with your own family's favorite Christmas recipes. See, I told you she thought of everything! What I really love about Celebrate Jesus Light of the World: An Advent Journey for Families is that it is not overwhelming at all, yet very meaningful as we place our focus on the anticipated return of Jesus while celebrating His birth.

My family and I are looking forward to using Celebrate Jesus Light of the World: An Advent Journey for Families beginning this Sunday, December 1. You can begin your own Advent journey as well using this lovely guide. Get your ebook today for only $4.99.

  2. I just saw this blog. This will be the first year my family will do advent. My church used to do it with the youth. Sad to say, our youth group is no longer in tack. Pray that changes. but I did find one through an online webcast. Ann Voskamp's The greatest gift. I am hoping to bring new life into Christmas for my family. We know the true meaning of Christmas. Just want to give a new meaning. The book you are using, will it be this price all the time? I would love to get a copy and use it next Christmas. As a ex homeschooler, I am always thinking ahead... Thanks for letting us in on your traditions. I loved the one about eating cake for breakfast. I may have to borrow that one for my home.

    1. Hi, Amy! Good to see you here again! I will certainly be praying your church can get their youth group back together. It's so important that youth have a wholesome place to connect and grow in their personal relationship with the Lord. I've heard great things about Ann Voskamp, so I'm sure The Greatest Gift will be a blessing to your home for Advent! I need to look into her books myself. :)

      To answer your question about the price of Celebrate Jesus...yes, it will continue to be that price...feel free to use the link provided in my post when you are ready to get your copy. I'm glad you enjoyed our traditions, and please borrow any of them you like for your home! Praying your Christmas is filled with special moments and new life as your hearts are focused on Jesus!

      Blessings,
      Laurie
