Redeeming the Season

I truly felt this was a meaninglful book. It was written with humor and gave great ideas to fit into everyday life. We are all bombarded with stress at this time of year. It seems we only stop on the one day, the 25th ,to really think of the true meaning of Christmas. How great to put meaning back into each day of the whole season without adding any additional stress to our lives. I plan to personally use three of their ideas this year. Thanks to the authors for giving a deeper insight and a path to follow. Thanks to Focus for printing this book.

"...the one thing..."

As a dad, I found the book a great read. The authors weave the crazy mishaps and triumphs of their own Christmas and family experiences into practical ideas for a more Christ-centered Christmas. A reminder that Christ came not only to save us, but to be known deeply and richly by us, and that the natural out flow of "the one thing" is worship, and drawing others to the Savior.I especially appreciated doable ideas for outreach during the Christmas season that are not corny.

A Blessing

This book is truley a Christmas blessing. It is filled with joy and love bringing the most precious gift Jesus Christ as the center of Christmas. It provides so many ways to share Christ with others and make Jesus the center of our lives in our own home during the hustle and bustle of the season.

Thoughful, original and real help for the holidays

I needed help putting some real meaning back in our Christmas. Things were much too focused on buying and decorating. I found real help in this book. The ideas are simple enough for anyone, and flexible enough to fit any family no matter who you are. It is more than a Christmas feel good book. It is full of meaningful truths and real help for real families like mine. I plan to use several of the original ideas this year. If you want help getting out of the Christmas shopping rut and really want to redeem your holiday, I recommend this great Focus on the Family book. We loved it and are giving it as gifts to others!

Humorous, Spirited Christmas Family Ideas

These two authors bring wit and laughter into Christmas, yet based on the love of Jesus. Simple ideas for keeping Christmas season focused on the family, love, and Jesus are described through the experiences and antics of these two high-energy mothers and wives.This book is highly recommended to families who want to simplify Christmas but have really clever activities for their families. Table Talk, Treasure Hunt Gifts, Prophecy Boxes, and many more ideas are fun possibilities for kids and parents. The book is also a fun read.
