12 years ago, I wrote a series of Christmas devotional thoughts. For my church for 2023, I edited those and made a short, 6-day devotional booklet.

It is a simple, fun yet still serious look at how some people responded to Christ’s birth 2000 years ago with some added application for today.
I pray you enjoy and are blessed by it.
Merry Christmas!
