“If there was ever a time parents needed help communicating the thread of Christ’s coming through the Bible, it is now. Not only will your children have a biblical account of Christmas, but you might just learn a thing or two as well. Extra bonus? The illustrations are simply beautiful!”

“Like many, I love Christmas. But I love the true Christmas. The truth of the birth of Christ and the reason for His birth. Laura Richie has demonstrated this truth in her book The Advent Storybook… This is a book you will want to read every Christmas season. Your children and grandchildren will pass Laura Richie’s project on to their future families.”

Equipped By His Word
Keeping Scripture fresh in the minds and hearts of my children is a top priority for my wife and me. God’s Word has power to go deep in their souls and Bible stories are the hook that keeps these truths at the forefront of their memories. That’s why I love what Laurie Richie and Ian Dale have created. Poignant Scriptures, pivotal Bible stories and intriguing illustrations all wrapped up in 25 days of reading makes this book a keeper and the best gift idea of the year.

“The Advent Storybook is a beautiful way for families to spend the season of Advent looking at the whole bible with Jesus at the center. I love the Advent Storybook because it helps us to spend the season of Advent longing and feeling our need for Jesus. Both adults and children will be stirred to come and adore Him.”

“Every home should have a copy of The Advent Storybook! In the midst of the busy Christmas season, the true meaning of our celebration can slip by unnoticed. Author Laura Richie beautifully engages all ages as she paints the picture of our need for a rescuer. Your children will eagerly anticipate these daily stories. I know The Advent Storybook will become a Christmas tradition for your family.”

Laura Richie is a wife, homeschooling mom to four, and a registered nurse. Formerly a missionary kid, Laura didn’t truly understand her need to be rescued until later in life. For years, she had tried very hard to be “good enough.” When she finally realized that Jesus came because she could never be good enough on her own, her striving ceased and her dancing began! Now she delights in sharing the beauty and grace of her Rescuer. Laura and her family reside in Oklahoma. After writing The Advent Storybook for her own children, Laura felt called to publish the book and share the story of God’s rescue with families across the world.
