The ABC's of Christmas

by Ray Pritchard

Sometimes in our spiritual journey we need to start at the very beginning. When it comes to Christmas, it's good for all of us to see through the tinsel and fantasy to the great story of Bethlehem.

During this Advent journey we’re going to let each letter of the alphabet teach us something important about the Christmas story. Along the way we’ll meet the Wise Men, the shepherds, and a bad king named Herod. We’ll also meet Joseph and Mary. Best of all, we’ll meet the One whose birthday we celebrate.

Throughout this 26-day devotional, Ray Pritchard shines new light on the events of the first Christmas. Experience Christ in a new way as we journey through Advent from A-Z.

This is a great little book for Advent, although I admit I skipped ahead and read the whole thing in about 30 minutes. There are a lot of simple but very meaningful truths in its pages, and this is a great thing to read around Christmas if for no other reason than to remember why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.

A great devotional for the Christmas season


First, I want to say, I should have written this several years ago when I first downloaded it. I anticipate reading it every year and each year it stirs my heart and causes me to ponder on many of the devotions. Thank you Dr. Pritchard

Simple and enjoyable

My girls loved these devotions. They even made flash cards to practice and I loved the truth of the last day.
