The focus of this Advent devotional for families is joy, the kind of joy that is soul-deep, rooted in our Lord and Savior, Jesus. True joy can rise up within us even when our Advents-or our lives-aren't glittery gold and even when we feel more broken than whole. A joyful heart is possible despite what is happening around us because we know God is faithful and more powerful than our circumstances. With Bible-based reflections to ponder, prayers to pray, and simple faith-based actions, author Kate Wicker helps families to seek the joy of Jesus' birth throughout the Advent season.
