I would like to welcome you to our Christmas Gift Guide 2022: Jesus Calling: The Story of Christmas (picture book): God’s Plan for the Nativity from Creation to Christ which I received a copy of in exchange for this review.
No, matter what anyone else might believe for my family Jesus is the reason for the Season. Christmas wouldn’t be here without God’s generosity. Not only should be celebrate Christmas but Jesus Birthday and teach our children the reason for the Season.
Which is why I can’t wait to share Jesus Calling with all of my friends and family. Even if you don’t have children Jesus Calling is a book you should sit down and read at least once in your life. Especially on Christmas Eve sharing the book with everyone you love.
As you open the book take time to look at the cover and stop and thank the Lord for today. Run your hand over the glitter which can calm you and allow you to breath. Then turn the book over to read the back cover.
For Christmas I am going to purchase a Bible for Charlie which will allow us to check out the Bible versus inside the book. Which could be part of Charlie’s Homeschool Reading Class without Charlie even knowing he is doing school lessons.
Throughout Jesus Calling not only are we reminded that the Lord loves us but we learn so much through the book including how kindness of sharing this story can go a long long way. I hope you take the time to share this story with everyone you know.

Christ was chosen before the World was made.
—1 Peter 1:20
The Christmas story began long, long ago. Before the angel Gabriel told Mary she would have God’s Son. Before the Shepherds saw the Angels and before the wise men saw the star.
Even before the Sun and the moon shone for the first time, before the first Cows ever moooed and the first Monkeys ever climbed! Before Adam and Eve took their first walk in the Garden of Eden, God had a plan for Christmas.
From the beginning of time, God had a plan to save his children. That plan was Jesus!
Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas is a beautifully embellished jacketed hardcover with foil and glitter. Curl up with your little ones around the Christmas tree with Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas.
