Here are 14 Advent Devotional Books to Add Meaning to the Christmas Season
(Affiliate links are used for your convenience. Read my full disclosure here.)
The past few years I have purchased the Advent studies from She Reads Truth.
I have really enjoyed the daily devotions and the extras included during the week for adding holiday traditions and recipes to connect the season to all that is special about Advent.
Often the themes are based on a favorite Christmas hymn title and lyrics.
This year it’s He Alone is Worthy.
One of the things I love about the She Reads Truth studies is that they do a book focused around the same readings but for men with He Reads Truth.
I gift the books to my daughters and sons so that we are already the same devotions together and can talk about it throughout the season so having the men’s and women’s books works so well.
There are so many wonderful devotion books out there.
Many of them I have carried in my shop and they have been great sellers and are from wonderful authors from esteemed publishers.
Here are some I recommend.
