Let each devotion add Christ's story to your tree.

Reclaim the true meaning of Christmas with a devotional experience that transforms your tree into a beautiful celebration of Christ's story.

The Advent Jesse Tree offers 25 daily devotions from December 1st through Christmas Day, the day Christians celebrate God's purpose revealed in the coming of Jesus. Each devotion traces Jesus' heritage through the rich stories and prophecies of the Old Testament, enabling families to celebrate the season more meaningfully.

These thoughtful Advent devotions are written in two versions, one for children and one for adults, and each includes:
- Scripture
- A story with commentary
- Discussion questions,
- A prayer
- A song

Every devotion is paired with a representative symbol that traces the heritage of Jesus, like a lamb, a dove, a rainbow, a heart, a star, and more. Families can use the symbolic line art printed with each daily devotion to craft meaningful ornaments together. These symbols connect beautifully with the prayers, memory verses, questions, and songs for that day. By Christmas morning, your tree will be adorned with 25 handmade reminders of the Bible stories that led to Christ's birth.

A perfect gift for families seeking to celebrate Advent with purpose and joy.
