Christmas is a time for celebration, but do you know WHY? Come search out the why behind Christmas joy and hope in our Christmas Bible study that uncovers the mercies of God leading up to and at the manger.
In this study, you will get a front-row seat as the BEST story ever is unfolded one precious truth at a time. Search out the mystery of the gospel and understand how each piece of Jesus' story fits together to show God's breathtaking and merciful plan.
This 25-day Bible study is a beautiful and purposeful way to lead up to Christmas day. As you work through each lesson, marvel at the goodness of God in sending His Son to be the perfect gift to this lost and hurting world.

This Bible study is available in 4 age levels that fit together perfectly. Each lesson has a consistent key truth, key Scripture, and central theme no matter what age level your kids are working in.
Each study in the family Bible study bundle also comes with an Uncovering Mercies at the Manger sticker pack.
Christmas is a time we celebrate! But under the piles of gifts, amidst holiday baking, and throughout endless festive get-togethers, we tend to lose the reason for the celebration.
Come on a 25-day journey with us as we uncover the mercies of the Christmas story leading up to the birth of Jesus. These beautiful Christmas Countdown Cards are a fun way to remember where the joy and hope of this season come from.
What version of the Bible do you use?
I study and write using the KJV and ESV Bibles. However, my studies are written with the intent that children and families will look up Scripture in the Bible of their choice, with specific attention taken to ensure questions can be answered from a variety of translations. So you should be able to use whatever version your family prefers. It's my passion to see kids opening the Bible themselves, so we've been very intentional about this.
What do you believe?
I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.
What age level should I buy?
This is by far the most common question we get around here. Please
check out this video. I'll show you the differences between the levels and walk you through how to use them as a family!
How many copies should I buy?
If you are buying digital, you only need one copy. If you plan to share with people outside of your home (like a group, co-op, church, etc.), you will need a site license to do so. Those can be found on each product's page.
If you are buying softcover, you should purchase one copy per child. This will enable children to write in the book, as it is designed to record their drawings and responses to the Word. Please check out this video for more explanation on why this is so important!
How long are your studies?
Each Bible study is a slightly different length, ranging from 20 lessons to 28 lessons. We suggest doing one lesson a day. Most kids find that it takes about 15 minutes a day.

This was the best advent season we've had as a family. No overwhelming pressure to be perfect or do all the things and keep up with other families. Just a poignant reminder of the true reason for the season.
My children and I absolutely loved going through this study at Christmas. Such a special time and a great way to dive deeper into the Christmas Story. I definitely recommend this bible study.
Both my girls, myself, husband and mom loved this study! My girls looked forward to it every day. Can’t say enough good things.
We used this Advent devotion for Christmas this past year and really loved it! My husband was very impressed with it as well. The focus is on Jesus' family tree, which is really interesting, and how the promise made to Adam and Eve carried on thru the OT until Jesus came! I also liked how the study did not stop at Jesus' birth, but it showed the importance of His coming and the future promises as well! So many times advent stops at His birth, but it was refreshing to have a study that continued on. We used the primary and junior levels, and it was perfect for our family. I liked how the primary books had the kiddos drawing out pictures that represented what they learned. All of my kids loved putting stickers on each day as well. We also used the advent cards alongside this study, which was a wonderful tool!
If I could give this more stars, I would. Most people think of a Christmas story beginning when Mary became pregnant. But this study starts at the very beginning, and goes all the way to the end. We start with Adam and Eve, spend some time with each person in Jesus' geneology, and even talk about salvation and the end when Jesus comes back. This was very thorough, but not boring at all. It was very interesting how the story was told, and was a perfect way to go through the Christmas season. Thank you so much for putting this all together!!!
My kids loved tracing Jesus' lineage in this study! Their excitement grew as we got closer and closer to His birth. We completed A Content Heart just before, and it was a wonderful pairing that kept their hearts focused on Him through the entire holiday season.
After Christmas ended, I was in search of something for the next year that would really bring focus on Jesus in our homeschool next December. This study did not disappoint! I can’t wait to surprise my kids with it this coming Christmas.
This is the best Christmas study we have done. The countdown cards a super fun addition to it too!
We loved adding this advent to our Christmas tradition! The cards along with the workbooks allowed for great conversations and to see how God coming was shown since Genesis! Highly recommend this, and I told my friends with younger kids that the cards are perfect to have and flip every day, bringing the meaning of the season back to His Word and His coming!
