Not Consumed

Great study for my child’s age.

Simple, beautiful way to anticipate the incarnation of our Savior. Exceptional quality makes a great decoration for Christmas and gift for other family members.

This study is not only well illustrated but biblically sound. We are enjoying going through this study as a family! Just amazing.

I think we all could use a little more peace these days. I love that the study gives us real, applicable, specific action steps to creating more peace. Like all Not Consumed studies...highly recommend!

We have never been disappointed by any of the Not Consumed studies. Becoming a Servant was no exception....what a blessing it has been to me and my two 14 year old girls. Highly recommend!

These cards are beautiful! We can’t wait to start using them this Christmas season! Great Advent cards to keep Christ the focus of the season!

My youngest two children are 13 & 15 now and I am still a lover of special Advent devotionals. We have had many wonderful studies including craft based studies when they were little. I am treasuring this study because it is reinforcing what we are already working in with our teens which is ownership of their faith and time with God in His Word. It allows independent study and a natural discussion time. I put the cards around the fireplace tiles and we are memorizing the main point for each day and adding the new to the end of the timeline. Seeing how many times God’s Word says “remember” is a command, an imperative, and I love this opportunity to remember the one who links the Alpha to the Omega. As an added discipline for my teenagers, I am having them highlight every verse they look up through this study.

These are so well made and a great tool to help me focus on Scripture. I love that the Scriptures are on post cards, so I can use them to encourage others!

My 9 year old son and I have enjoyed doing this study together as we enter into the Holiday season. We really like the family tree sticker activity. It seems to be helping my son put things together a little easier, as far as the lineage, starting with Adam. I highly recommend this Bible study for all ages. It is beautifully done.

I'm doing this study with my 14 year old daughter. This is such a great overview of classic Bible stories but the focus and connections to why Jesus came is so good. My daughter has been going to church her whole life but definitely learned something new. At the same time I think it's simple enough for less churched children as well. Very well done. I purchased additional studies.

Absolutely love this new tradition! Keeping CHRIST the center of our Christmas tree was the goal and the cards nailed it! The quality is great and the style is perfect for us!

The cards came well packaged and included everything I needed to get started. I purchased the Bible Study to accompany the cards and it is a perfect Advent devotional! Thank you.

We are doing this study with our 16, 13, 9 and 7 year olds. This isn’t our first Not Consumed study; we are back again for more because we saw much participation and growth from the last one. This study is deep. It doesn’t come in the younger kids edition so we are taking it a bit slower with our 7 year old. It is deeply challenging, and causes us to have in depth family discussions on our heart, intentions, and emotions, and why they matter and how deceitful our hearts can be. Very challenging topics for my teens. I’m loving all the communication and soul searching!

As I led my four kids, ages 16,13,9 and 7, through this study, the Lord gently convicted me that it was just as much for me as it was for them! It was difficult at times but so blessed in so many ways. We saw fruit right away of the Word penetrating their hearts and causing their hearts to turn from hurtful angry responses to kindness and love. We wholeheartedly recommend this study for ALL ages!

We did this study last year in place of our nightly devotional with our then 4 and 8-year-old for Advent. It is very well written and we loved it, but I wish I had skimmed through it first. The first several lessons jump right into Bible story discussion and application, assuming a level of familiarity with the stories that our 8-year-old had, but our 4-year-old didn't necessarily. The only thing I think would be an improvement would be a note at the beginning of those first few days, telling parents which Bible story (or passage) will be discussed so they can read it if need be. But the overall effect of spending almost every night focusing on Christ's coming at Christmas was life changing. Several years ago when Christmas fell on a Sunday, I will admit, we made our own traditions our idol and stayed home from church. This Christmas, my husband and I briefly confirmed that we were going to church Christmas morning, because Christmas is about Christ. Finding another family devotional for this Advent took a hot minute because the quality of this study set the bar so high and made me picky. I expect in another year or two I will purchase the next level and we will go through Mercies at the Manger again!
