Today, Roberta talks to Katie Trent about her new book A Merry and Bright Adventure: A Christmas Devotional for Family, Faith, Food, and Fun, available from Whitaker House publishers.

With all of the exciting sights, sounds, and smells of Christmastime, it can be hard to get children to focus on the real reason for the season: the birth of Jesus Christ. But let’s face it: all of us can get caught up in the hustle-bustle of planning for family gatherings, decorating, and shopping for gifts.
 Author Katie J. Trent offers a solution to the mad rush of Advent with A Merry and Bright Adventure: A Christmas Devotional for Family, Faith, Food, and Fun.
 This unique family devotional will help you discover new ways to enjoy the season with Christ at the center of it all. You’ll grow in your relationship with Jesus—and each other—as you learn the history behind holiday traditions and discover Jesus in everyday moments.
A Merry and Bright Adventure includes: 

  •  Kid-friendly lessons and Scripture readings for ages three and up focusing on a specific holiday tradition for each day in December leading up to Christmas. 
  •  Simple prayers and discussion questions such as “What gift would you bring Jesus if you met Him today?” and “Why were angels important in the Christmas story?” 
  •  Family adventures ranging from making ornaments and gifts to spreading Christmas cheer to others, stargazing, and carol singing. 
  •  A baking buddies conversation connection with a short Scripture to go with the theme for the day and a recipe. There are thirty-one recipes in all to give families some options. 
  •  Full-color photos throughout.
