Craft and Pray Around the World – A Christmas Experience for Families

A Christmas Experience for Christian Families

First, let me be clear, this is a “religious” book. The whole premise behind the book is to help families have a spiritually focused Christmas season. Secondly, there are lots of wonderful books that explore the events surrounding Christ’s birth; this is not one of those books. This book is unique in that it focuses on why Christmas.

For God so loved that world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

So in light of God loving us so much that he gave his only Son (Jesus) to be born on Christmas (and later die on the cross as an atonement for our sin) because he loved the world, we are going to learn more about the people of the world whom God loves.

We will learn what Christmas is like around the world, make an ornament for each country, and then most importantly we will pray specifically for the needs of the people in each of the 24 countries we are studying.
