New Christmas Advent Study Helps Families Combine Faith and Fun During Holiday Season

Taylor Turner, a Christian mother and science teacher from West Texas, has developed a Christmas family Advent Bible study designed to help families grow in their faith together during the holiday season. The study, titled 'From Manger to Messiah,' guides participants through the book of Luke while incorporating elements that make biblical learning accessible and engaging for families of all ages. Turner's background in education informs her approach to creating materials that help parents lead their children in spiritual development, even if the parents themselves are still growing in their faith.

The study includes daily prayers, simple guided discussions, and thoughtful questions that facilitate meaningful conversations about faith within families. Beyond traditional Bible study elements, 'From Manger to Messiah' incorporates festive recipes and hands-on activities that transform the learning experience into a family-friendly adventure. This combination of faith-based content and interactive elements aims to create opportunities for families to draw closer to God and each other during the Christmas season, which Turner identifies as an ideal time for spiritual growth and connection.

Early reception of the book has been positive, with readers across the United States providing glowing reviews that highlight the study's effectiveness in bringing families together spiritually. The publisher, Clay Bridges Press, is a Houston-area hybrid publisher that helps authors edit, publish, and promote their books.

Turner's approach emphasizes that family Bible study should combine faith and fun, creating an experience that helps children come to know Christ early while equipping parents to lead with confidence.

The study's focus on the journey from Jesus' birth to his mission as Messiah provides families with a comprehensive understanding of the Christmas story's significance. By guiding families through Luke's account, the study helps participants understand Jesus as the greatest gift of Christmas while transforming family prayer life through engagement with scripture. This resource represents a growing trend of faith-based materials designed specifically for family use during holiday seasons, addressing the need for accessible spiritual development tools that accommodate busy family schedules and varying levels of biblical knowledge.
