Publisher's Description: Each window in the Advent Calendar opens to reveal a rich, full color picture, and a Bible verse. These pictures and verses will help you to meet different people from Jesus' family tree. The window can also be torn off, ready to hang on a special kind of tree called a Jesse tree.

The accompanying book helps families to read two or three verses from the Bible each day, discuss some simple questions and then pray together.

Each daily Bible time takes about five minutes, maybe at breakfast, or after an evening meal. Whatever suits you best.

A Jesse tree is a traditional way of celebrating Advent. Each day, a symbol is hung on the tree as a reminder of part of Jesus' family tree. You will find these symbols hiding behind the windows on your Advent calendar.

You will meet three kinds of people on your Jesse tree:
- Members of Jesus' family (starting with Adam)
- Old Testament prophets who spoke about Jesus hundreds of years before He was born
- People who met Jesus during the first Christmas

You will find suggestions for a variety of ways to make a Jesse tree inside the accompanying booklet.
