As Christmas draws near, it’s my prayer that you and your family are able to experience the joy of celebrating the birth of our Lord. And if this holiday season is difficult for you, I pray you’ll sense God’s peace and comfort through his Holy Spirit.

To help you celebrate the Christmas season and to share God’s love with those around you, I want to tell you about some inspiring devotionals that are designed to strengthen your relationship with Christ. From kids and teens to adults and married couples, there is a devotional for everyone.

Here are a few highlights:

The Healthy Marriage Devotional
If your marriage could use some encouragement, Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family in the U.S., offers a 365-day devotional inspired from his 35-plus years of marriage to his wife, Jean, and from the many marriage experts that have impacted him over the years.

Lord, Help Me Pray for My Kids
You see your child on their best days – and also on their worst. You know how they’re wired and what makes them unique. Your love for them knows no bounds. Yet expressing the feelings in your heart and in your mind can be challenging. Songwriter and Dove Award winner Tony Wood has crafted prayers for many of the desires we have for our children.

Inspire Bible (NLT): The Bible for Coloring & Creative Journaling
With over 400 beautiful line-art illustrations displayed throughout the pages of Scripture, this Bible is great for creative art journaling.

If you’re not sure what to get for someone, you can give them a gift certificate and let them choose what they like!
