Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Prepare Him Room
Marty Machowski Β· 2014
83/100
π Worth It
Marty Machowski understands that Advent devotionals for families need to work across a four-year-old and a twelve-year-old sitting in the same room, and the three-tiered age differentiation here is genuinely thoughtful. Connecting Old Testament messianic prophecy to the nativity narratives gives it more theological texture than typical seasonal books, and the crafts and carols make those four weeks feel like an event rather than a reading assignment. A standout in a crowded category.
