It’s easy to get distracted from the celebration of our Savior’s birth, so I’m always on the lookout for ways to focus on the reason for the season.
Here’s a resource I just discovered yesterday and I’m thanking God for it already.
It’s a 7-day Bible study entitled, Jesus’ Birth: The Story of Christmas. I started reading it last night with the thought, “I’ll check out Day 1 and see what it’s like.” And I ended up reading all seven lessons in one sitting. It’s that good.
Written by Heather Erdmann, this study takes you through the key Christmas passages in Matthew and Luke, with insightful comments and thought-provoking questions to guide you along the way.
Heather is a gifted Bible teacher. I admire and covet her writing style – straightforward and understandable, thorough yet concise. I was impressed with how much truth she can communicate with an economy of words.
Best of all, the focus is on Jesus: who He is and why He came. This is a Christ-centered, Jesus-exalting Bible study that will prepare your heart for Christmas by informing your mind with the truth that enables your spirit to soar with delight at His matchless glory.
And it’s free. Check it out here:

I suggest you print it out and go through the study over a 7-day period, one lesson each day, either on your own or with your family. If you don’t already do something like this with your loved ones, wouldn’t this be a great time to start a new family tradition? My wife Julie and I are going to do this study together as we prepare for Christmas.
Enjoy! And if you find Heather’s study helpful, let me know by commenting below. Better yet, let Heather know by leaving a comment on her Facebook page:
