Over and over Jotham screamed for his family, but there was no one to hear him. They had vanished. He was alone. Where had they gone? How long ago had they left? Through quick, stabbing sobs Jotham told himself, I must look for my family. I must search until I find them. Thus begins Jotham's Journey.

In one of the most exciting Advent stories you will ever read, follow ten-year-old Jotham across Israel as he searches for his family. Hold your breath when he faces thieves, robbers, and kidnappers. Rejoice in his encounters with wise men, shepherds, and innkeepers until at last he finds his way to the Savior born in Bethlehem.

  • A portion of the story for every day of Advent, including Christmas Day.
  • An Advent calendar schedule from the current time to the year 2058.
  • Specific instructions for making an Advent wreath.
  • The symbolism of the candles.

With this book you will begin a rich tradition of nativity celebration in your household.

  Jotham's Journey

We discovered this wonderful Advent Storybook and read it with our children for family devotions. It is a story set in ancient times, from a child's perspective. Well-written, with questions to discuss, and each day ends with a cliff hanger ending, making everyone look forward to the next episode. My children are now adults and I am ordering them each a copy to share with their family.
