With Advent less than a month away, we are busy trying to decide which devotional we want to read through this year to deepen our experience of Christmas and the Christmas story. Spending time reading through an Advent devotional in this busy season gives us the space to praise God for the gift He gave us at Christmas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself looking for an Advent devotional this year, we recommend four of our favorite options below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Devotionals to Help You Rediscover the Meaning of Christmas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To refresh your faith with Scripture and stories of simple Christmases of the past, read The Gifts of Christmas<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for an Advent devotional that walks you through the Christmas story in Scripture with insights to help you ponder the miracle of Christmas, read Prepare Him Room.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For biblical and historical insights in the people, places, and events surrounding the nativity, we recommend Star of Wonder<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, for a beautifully designed Advent devotional filled with wisdom and thoughtful prayers illustrated with full-color calligraphy, read Come Discover Christmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know Christmas is one of the biggest holidays of the year, and it\u2019s central to the story of our faith\u2014let\u2019s make sure we linger on the reason for the season and dive into Scripture to keep Christ at the center of our celebrations! We love how each of these devotionals does just that while offering unique insights, prayers, and stories to encourage us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
