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 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.

I love this my kids found it to be interesting and fun even my teen
This has been a great study for the family. The parent, student, and junior versions are well suited to our children. The verses support the discussion and each study we have done together has revealed new information about the Bible and our triune Lord to us!
Our family is really enjoying this Bible study this Advent season. I love how it traces Jesus' family tree- God's BIG STORY! The different age levels are great, and my kids are really enjoying it. This is our first as a family and we will definitely be ordering more.
Great devotional for families
I paired this devotional with our homeschool Christmas school last year. My kids enjoyed it so much! Excited for the new one this year!
We love doing different advent studies as a family at Christmas time. We started this one a little early this year because our schedule in December gets really full, and we are all loving it! I have 2 kids doing the elementary pack and 2 doing highschool. I love that they can do the study independently, and then we come together after dinner to do the discussion questions. I also highly recommend the countdown cards! They are beautiful and a great everyday reminder of the depth of the Christmas story.
Absolutely loved this study. Did it with my middle school students in Bible class.
Love this Bible study! It’s light and beautiful with focus on the importance of Christmas
This is so good! It takes you from creation through Jesus to grasp the amazing mercy of God. The lessons are well done and there are applications for people of all ages. It is wonderful for Advent, but would be great at any time. I highly recommend it.
