This is a review for a Christmas book called Simply Christmas: A Busy Mom’s Guide to Reclaiming the Peace of the Holidays: A Devotional Published by Tama Fortner. I received a copy in exchange for this review.
As soon as I saw the cover for Simply Christmas I knew this would be the perfect Coffee Table Book to have out during the Holidays. From the soft blue binding to the inviting cup of Cocoa with the cute Marshmallow’s that make you want to take a drink except you don’t want to hurt the Marshmallows.
I love how the book teaches us too reclaim the love of the Lord and the true meaning of Christmas. If you fail this year she reminds us to try again next year. Even though Simply Christmas is more of a book for women I found many ways for us to not only use Simply Christmas in my personal life but in our Homeschool Classroom and as a guidance for my marriage.
Thirty-one encouraging devotions to help busy moms pause and ponder the true Miracles of the Christmas Season—the wonder of a Savior who would leave Heaven to save us and the love of those who share our home.
A Devotional
Between Holiday baking, hunting for the perfect tree, decorating, preparing for visiting relatives, and making sure everyone gets the ideal gift, Christmas can be anything but Peaceful for a busy mom. Too often, the stress and busyness of the Season make it difficult to find time to just sit and reflect on the wonder of the Savior’s birth.
If this sounds familiar, allow Simply Christmas to be your personal invitation to slow down and savor the beauty of the manger this year. These thirty-one devotions are not dated, so you’re welcome to begin reading anytime—whether that’s on December 1, Christmas Eve, the day after Thanksgiving, or the middle of July—without even a smidgen of guilt or shame.
Accompanied by Seasonally inspired full-color photographs, this thirty-one-day devotional brings a bit of calm to each day through a short reflection and Scripture, together with points to ponder and fun ideas for simplifying your Christmas traditions.
