“This book has changed our lives and how we celebrate the season.”

Jack and Kathy reading The Advent Book to grandchildren

An Experience that Teaches the Christmas Story

And Brings Anticipation to Each Day of Advent

A Tradition that Builds Life-Long Memories

The Advent Book, created by Jack & Kathy Stockman and originally published by Crossway Books, was designed to be a family heirloom and the centerpiece of an annual Christmas worship tradition.

The large full-color book with beautiful illustrations features 25 unique doors, each opening to reveal a picture and a segment of the Christmas story. The story is told in simple concise language so that even young children can be included in this Advent tradition.

A new door is opened each day from December 1st through Christmas. As each door is reopened and added to daily, family members learn by heart the Biblical story with anticipation and excitement.

"We’ve been reading it twice a day (nap-time and bedtime) but the kids would read it all day if we let them. Instead, we hide it the rest of the day so they don’t look ahead."

“My 6 children, ages 16 to 3 weeks, all anxiously await the reading of the book each night.”

“My four children alternate reading the pages every day and have eagerly done so for five years.”

“We enjoy the beautiful pictures and the children can recite the entire book at this point!”

“By repeating the story every night the kids really remember it and seem to get it. My kids just love this tradition.”

“The Advent Book was introduced to us a few years ago by a cousin whose three year old had the story memorized.”

“To see the joy and excitement it brought my two year old son was priceless.”

“This book has changed our lives and how we celebrate the season.”

“The Advent Book has become a tradition for our Advent celebration, and has been a source of tremendous blessing.”
