This four-week Advent family devotional by best-selling author Marty Machowski combines devotions on the theme of light and darkness with the story of eleven-year-old Mia and her grandmother as they prepare for Christmas. Grandma loves to share her faith, especially at Christmas time, and although she is blind, she can see the light of Jesus shining bright and helps Mia—and children of all ages—to do the same. Every year, Mia loves to spend the month of December with Grandma getting ready for Christmas. This year, they read a special devotional, The Light Before Christmas, together. Machowski brings families into their devotional time, sharing the story of Christmas. Through a Bible study of light and darkness, readers will discover how the theme of light weaves its way through the Christmas story and God’s plan of salvation. The Light Before Christmas contains thirteen devotionals—three for each of the four weeks of Advent and one more for Christmas. Each devotional includes a Scripture for the day, an object lesson, a focus Scripture, a question to discuss as a family, a song to sing together, and a prayer.

“Advent provides a wonderful time for families to gather around God’s Word and to teach children essentials of the faith. I think ‘light’ is one of the key themes running through the promise and coming of Jesus, so I am delighted to see this devotional provide a way for families to explore this rich theme together.” Ray Van Neste, Dean and Professor of Biblical Studies, School of Theology and Missions, Union University

I always ignore the buyer beware post but this is a buyer beware post!
I purchased this product based on the reviews I read. Please do not purchase. The cartridge is totally different from the brand version The part of the cartridge that should be fastened and locked into the pen is shaped in a circle , on the pen the Parr is rectangle . The original cartridge has a circular downward pattern to help lock the cartridge into the machine on the replacement cartridge there's no ridges it just slides down so it doesn't fit in no way shape form or fashion. I tried to alter the circular piece to make it fit by filing, burning and reshaping the plastic in an attempt to change the shape to a rectangle to fit it doesn't work the entire cartridge does not fit into the machine it's a waste of money for product that can't be returned or used. Buyer beware!
