Hi, Fellow Dads!
Looking for some ideas to make your family’s Christmas season really focus on Jesus and not the peripherals? In this episode, we talk about some books my family has found enjoyable, entertaining, educational, and edifying, finding that some books
…are just so well-written in helping us meditate on and understand the wonder, the miracle, the mystery of God the Son coming into space and time and dwelling among us.
I hope you and yours will enjoy them too!
We also discuss family traditions and how reading one specific story can be (should be!) an essential part of every Christian family’s Christmas tradition.
Thanks for coming along for the journey with us!

🐑 Books about the First Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ
✝️ Books focusing on the Lord Jesus
📖 The ultimate, perfect, and best Christmas story–and for many families, including my own, the focal point of the entire holiday season–is reading or reciting from…
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” – Luke 2:10-11
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” – Matthew 1:21

Enjoyed this, Nathan! Such fun memories surrounding the Arnold Ytreeide books! Especially of Granddaddy sitting on the edge of his seat and wanting “just one more chapter!” 🙂
I’m encouraged to read (and reread) some of these that you mentioned.
