“Would you like to offer your family an escape from the rush and crush of Christmas? That’s exactly what Barbara Reaoch’s new family devotional will help you do! A Better Than Anything Christmas shows us how to lead our children to the One who is better than anything that a Christ-less Christmas tries to offer. With simple—but profound—ways to gather around relevant Scriptures, along with age-appropriate questions and activities, Barbara’s book helps us discover together all the ‘betters’ that Jesus came to give. I can’t wait to use this with the children in my life!”

Its clear explanations, relatable seasonal illustrations and differentiated questions mean I have no doubt that young and old will be thrilled when they see again and again—and AGAIN—why Jesus really is the very best. The truths certainly made my heart sing!”

“I look forward to sharing this book with the family this Christmas, most especially for how it promotes theologically robust discussion and a deepening and enduring understanding of God’s word. From toddlers to teens, this devotional offers all children far greater value than even the most beautifully wrapped packages beneath the tree.”

“This little book turns our eyes towards the amazing gift of Jesus at Christmas in a beautifully simple way, yet with enough depth that even older children and adults can be drawn to deeper faith and worship. I’m already thinking about who I might give a copy to!”

“An enjoyable, attainable, and theologically rich family devotional. No need to gather glue sticks and glitter or find a spare hour—just gather the family on the couch and follow the short, simple structure toward 25 days of engaging, Christ-centered family worship.”

“Barbara does an outstanding job of keeping the focus on the centrality of Jesus in 25 of his incomparable gifts, the main and best gift being himself. The personalized artwork your children will add could make this book a family heirloom, revisited by your children’s children.”
