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.
Use our new Christmas Countdown Cards along with this study as a visible and exciting reminder of what God did by sending Jesus to be born in a manger!
This Bible study is available in 3 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. Junior (ages 8–12) and Youth (ages 13+) can be done independently.
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.

My nine year old son loved this study guide. He really enjoyed being able to work on this independently and discover many things for himself before discussing it with the family. I definitely recommend this product.
My six year old girl loved this! Excellent tool.
I am so grateful that I have found these studies. They are the perfect set-up to do with my two 13 year old daughters every morning before school. My girls look forward to doing their study every morning. The material is spot-on (not to mention high quality and gorgeous!) I have purchased every single study and will continue to purchase these for my girls. Thank you for making these available!!
My kiddos couldn’t wait to use these this past Christmas. I strung them across the living room curtains above the tree. These cards really helped the littles keep the Lord in mind. Thank you Kim! It’s an awesome tool for my family.
Such a beautiful collection and the study is so wonderfully set up to do as a family. Thank you for creating such beautiful products for families to use for celebrating the arrival of Jesus to earth.
We all enjoyed this study to connect and get closer to the real meaning of Christmas, Jesus!
My 8 & 10 year old boys were excited when they saw this beautiful study with stickers! I loved that it wasn't a "typical" Christmas study, but went through SO much Scripture! I will say that it was a little much for my 8 year old, who is a struggling reader and writer and has ADD. We sometimes had to do part of one day in the morning and return later in the day.
There are great Bible studies out there for Christmas' time, but they just never seemed to fit. They all claimed to be focused on Christ, and to some degree they were. However, those always involved hunting down lots of materials every day and seemed to focus more on Christmas movies and craft time. In absolute contrast, this is completely what we've been searching for. Its focus is 100% on Christ. It's a fun study with a big emphasis on the true meaning of Christmas. We also loved, as all Not Consumed studies do, how it always sends us to the Bible for any answer it poses to find the answer, constantly reminding us that the Bible is where we go to seek truth. My son loved following the lineage of Christ each study, as well as adding stickers to Christ's family tree. Definite must in our household each Christmas! It was fun and informational without being overwhelming to my son or to me. Just open and go :)
Wow. When I opened the study and the corresponding cards I was just amazed. Beautiful in every way! But when my amazement grew was as we went through the study. A bit different than the usual Christmas studies we have done before, very interesting, engaging for myself and my kids. It opened up a lot od discussion of things we hadn’t thought of before. And they loved putting on the stickers and flipping over the cards each day. I can’t wait to do it all over again this next December!
