The story of Christmas began long before Mary gave birth to our Savior, Jesus, in Bethlehem. The story of Christmas—the story of God's saving plan—began at the creation of the world.
Inspired by the Jesse Tree tradition, O Come, Emmanuel roots families in the rich symbols of the Old Testament that point to the coming of Jesus Christ. For each day of December leading to Christmas, you'll find a reading from Sacred Scripture, family-friendly reflections for the day, and a short prayer.
Experience the unfolding of God's plan from Creation to the Patriarchs to the Prophets and beyond with O Come, Emmanuel. Get your signed copy here!
Full disclosure, the Jesse Tree devotion wasn’t a super success for our family when we first tried it many years ago. So, when Scott Hahn‘s publishing company reached out and asked me to write a book on the Jesse Tree, I knew what I had to do. Say yes anyway . . . and figure out how to make it useful and doable and beautiful and good. O Come, Emmanuel: Advent Reflections on the Jesse Tree for Families was written to solve the issues we had with the devotion as a young family. It has everything you need right there between the covers: art + Bible reading + reflection + prayer.
Each day’s content is similar in length, and not too long for little kids to manage. It’s appropriate for all ages from toddler to adult. It’s rooted in Catholic Scripture and Tradition but ecumenical in presentation, so we can share it with non-Catholic family friends. And it’s a high-quality, full-color, beautifully illustrated, sturdy hardcover book that will last for many kids and many Advents.
But one thing was missing: I wanted ornaments! In addition to your O Come Emmanuel book, you'll also receive a digital download of our Jesse Tree Ornament Coloring pages. They'll be delivered directly to your inbox!
