Book Description
The Christmas Story: Scripture from the Gospels and the Prophets Here is the story of Jesus' birth and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in a beautiful ebook that can be used as a handout at Christmas and as a Bible study to use during Advent. Using traditional wording from Matthew and Luke's Gospels, and beautiful full-color art, this ebook starts with the angelic announcement of John the Baptist's birth and the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary. It continues with Mary and Joseph traveling to Nazareth, the birth of Jesus, and the visitation of the shepherds and the Wise Men. It ends with the Gospel story and a forward look toward Christ's second coming. This beautiful ebook will be treasured. Contains suggestions for Advent celebrations and traditional suggested readings; also includes suggestions for using the ebook as a Christmas program script. Ideas for Use Questions for Discussion or Journaling: •Read "The Advent of Hope" (panels 1-4). In the New Testament, John the Baptist fulfills the role of Elijah (also known as Elias in some Bible versions). What did the ancient biblical prophecies say he would do and why? •How did Jesus fulfill Psalm 89:3-4? What is the connection between Jesus and King David? •How did Mary respond to the angel's message? How did Joseph respond? How does the Lord deal with our own confusion in life? •Read "The Advent of Peace" (panels 5-6). In those days, the most powerful man in the world was Caesar Augustus. Look at the Old Testament prophecies. How is Jesus similar and different from Caesar? You may want to compare their status in society, their wealth and power, and their effect on future societies. Both would bring a kind of peace to the world. How would you describe the differences? •Read "The Advent of Joy" (panels 8-9). King Herod of Judea was one of the most ruthless rulers of the time. As a baby, Jesus had powerful enemies and his life was in danger. How did God protect him? Many people expected Jesus to be the Messiah for the Jewish people only, but God's plan was to bless the entire world. How do we see hints in these Scriptures. •Read "The Advent of Love" (panels 10-11). The Christmas story is more than the story of a tiny baby. Jesus was sent to earth to "seek and save" us. How was Jesus similar to us? How is he different? •Read Isaiah 53:5-6. What was the greater purpose for Jesus' life? How did he redeem us? Why is Jesus good news for all people? •At the time of Jesus' birth there was war and destruction. Within a few years of Jesus' death, Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed. What hope does Jesus bring to a dark world?,br/>•Jesus died, rose again, and ascended into heaven where he intercedes with the Father on our behalf. What is our response to Jesus? What claim does he have on our lives? Have you ever asked him to forgive your sins and be Messiah and king of your life?

Book Description
Josh Ragizzo and his family are being hunted, having been accused of terrorism and heresy. The religious government known as Babylon has risen to power across the entire planet, and all the nations of the world have sworn allegiance to it. Strict economic restrictions and death decrees have been issued against those who choose not to conform to the worship practices of Babylon. The Ragizzos, because of their knowledge of God as revealed in the pages of Scripture, have refused to participate in the mandated false worship, and are now in hiding in fear of their lives on a daily basis. The very end times described in the prophetic writings of the Bible are upon the earth. Join the family for a story of survival and adventure as they live through the last Christmas the world will ever see. As they strive to endure in and make sense of a world which has turned upside-down, you might just come to see our world in a different light, and see more clearly the mysteries of God.

Book Description
There are so many other Christmas curriculums for kids. Why do we need another one? Great Question!There is so much more to the Christmas story than most children ever hear about. The power of the story lies in understanding the backdrop of bringing mankind to that unique moment in God's timetable-the birth of Jesus.Too often adults assume children cannot understand or do not care about things like the prophecies behind the story, or the meanings of the wise men's gifts. We just assume all they are capable of handling is the surface details - the basic story itself.We wanted to give children as much of the details as possible, for one big reason-to help them realize the profound prophetic, fascinating truths that resulted in the birth of Christ. We want them to walk away from these lessons knowing that Christ's birth was not an accident, not coincidence, and not just a good story. We want them to see that it was proof that God's Word was real, and can be trusted.We want them to understand Jesus' birth was a part of God's bigger plan for mankind, and was an intricate part of His top secret Plan of Salvation. It's important they are able to tie what the Old Testament prophets had to say to the details, to show how well-planned it really was. All of this is to deepen their faith in their God, His son, and the book we call the Bible.5 Unique Prophetic Lessons!Lesson 1: Understanding Why He CameLesson 2: Understanding Who He WasLesson 3: Understanding the PropheciesLesson 4: Understanding His Birth LessonLesson 5: Understanding the Wise Men's GiftsIncluded is a Special Christmas Play!Bonus Packet of Lesson AidsMultiple Object Lessons Ideas
