Take a break from the busy during one of the most hectic seasons of the year. Slow down. Take a deep breath. Come, sit with Jesus for a while.
The combination of music and poetic text has long helped God's people prepare for Christmas. This hymn journal adds color to your meditation. In this hymn journal you will discover:
- 9 well-known hymns and carols
Including O Holy Night; What Child is This?; Joy to the World; In the Bleak Midwinter; O Come, O Come, Emmanuel; and four more! - 3 new songs for the season from singer/songwriter Brooke Orozco
Including For Us; Noel; and Light in the Darkness. Brooke has also recorded new and compelling renditions of all of the traditional hymns and carols in this hymn journal. - Music and Lyrics
The hymns are presented both with music and in a poetic stanza format to give you opportunity to engage the text in different ways. - Visual Faith Illustrations
Sketches provided by Visual Faith(TM) Ministry artists will invite you to add color or draw as you spend time in the Word and in prayer. A 24-Day Advent Calendar and a 12-Day Christmas Calendar provide tools to capture what Jesus is doing in your life right now. - Scripture Readings
Bible verses were specially chosen to fit these specific hymns and carols. The Scripture readings are placed on the page in a way that enhances the meaning, with plenty of space for your personal notes or doodles. - Devotions
Engaging, heart-felt insights from author Justin Rossow invite you into a deeper understanding and intimate application of the biblical text to your daily life as you walk toward Christmas and Epiphany. - Faith Experiments
Guided activities take the message of the music, lyrics, and Scripture to an even deeper and more personal level. Experiment with taking a small next step and you'll discover the adventure of following Jesus.
The 8.5 x 11 format means there is plenty of white space for your notes or sketches. Throughout the book, intentionally blank pages allow your chosen medium to bleed through without ruining the next reading. Those blank pages are also an invitation to add your own notes, collages, insights, questions, or art.
Whether you choose to use colored pencils, markers, or paints, allow yourself time to linger with these hymns, meditations, and Scripture verses. Use the act of drawing or adding color as an excuse to slow down to steep in God's Word
✓ No Expertise RequiredResearch has shown the benefit of drawing or adding color as a learning activity. You don't have to consider yourself particularly creative to use this hymn journal. But you may be surprised what the Holy Spirit will do if you allow yourself a bit of grace and opportunity.
Use this hymn journal as a tool to help you delight in following Jesus. The invitation to prepare your heart for Jesus has never been more needed. And preparing for Christmas has never been more fun.
✓ Real Help for Real PeopleHere's what people are saying about the first hymn journal from Next Step Press:
I'm amazed by the double dose of concentration and devotion that music and visual meditation is allowing me. I walk around the house humming the melody, recalling the images, and repeating the lyrics. It is really quite powerful.
I'm loving how the artwork makes me take more time on my devotion and really ponder and pray. I especially like the visual faith experiments.
You'll experience the Christmas season like never before.Also in
