Jotham’s Journey: A Storybook for the Christmas Season
These are great resources for you and your family to use to have fun and talk about your faith in your homes this Christmas season.
There are 4 books in this series:
Book 1: Jotham’s Journey
Book 2: Tabitha’s Travels
Book 3: Bartholomew’s Passage
Book 4: Ishtar’s Odyssey
These books are fun for the whole family and are full of action and excitement, pirates and kidnappings, and they are great stories. They are set at the time of Jesus’ birth and there are discussion questions and thoughts at the end of each chapter to help you and your family discuss and apply the Biblical lessons learned. It is great to read a different book each Christmas season.
Many of our Waters Edge families have enjoyed these books and now you can, too. Just click here and order it today.
