Let’s be honest, there are a ton of different Advent and Christmas devotionals out there in the Christian publishing world! And having to choose from such a staggering amount of options can be, well, overwhelming,

That is why included here you will find a specially curated selection of recommended Advent and Christmas resources. We have chosen these, in particular, because (1) they are all saturated with God’s Word and (2) they all share a certain ‘family resemblance’ with Christ City Church.

Below you will find daily liturgies for worship at home, craft and activity books for the kids, guided reflections via poetry and art, breath-prayers, theological devotions, and daily readings. We are confident that any one of these selections will help you turn your mind’s attention and your heart’s affection towards the once and future coming of Jesus Christ.

Do you know where our Advent and Christmas traditions come from? What they have to do with Jesus? How did fur trees, long socks, singing to our neighbors, and pine needle wreathes become associated with the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior of the world? Learn the surprising and unexpected origins of our most beloved traditions and how they connect to the Christian story of Christ’s Nativity. (And… impress your friends and family at this year’s Christmas Party.)
