Follow the line that leads to Christ.
The Christmas Family Tree invites readers to enter the Advent season by tracing the surprising, grace-filled ancestry of Jesus. Drawing from the genealogy in Matthew’s Gospel, this collection of 25 Advent devotionals highlights the men and women whose stories reveal God’s long work of redemption, from patriarchs and prophets to outsiders, widows, and unlikely heroes. Each day uncovers how God uses imperfect people to bring forth hope, weaving their lives into the story that leads to Christ. With warm reflection, accessible biblical insight, and gentle prompts for prayer, this devotional helps individuals and groups prepare their hearts for Christmas by seeing the birth of Jesus as the culmination of God’s faithful family story.
