Advent Giveaway!

~Hi Everyone~

I am so excited to offer a book giveaway in time for Advent...

Yes, Advent is coming...Beginning on December 2nd!

I was contacted by the author, Sharon Altman, who co-authored the book with her daughter, Christine Winkelman.  It's called Destination: Bethlehem...A Family Advent Adventure.

This is a delightful Catholic chapter book for each day of December leading up to Christmas – and is both entertaining and educational for the adults reading it aloud and the children listening.

There are a number of Advent books out there but what attracted me to this one was 2 things:

1-Sharon wrote this book for her grandsons (Her daughter and co-author's boys) and they decided from the start that they would donate profits from the book to a sister parish in Guatemala to help the kids there. I loved this! 

2-It's do-able! Reading small amounts during a busy time of year is very appealing.  I love that you can read a chapter a day and savor the real meaning of the season with our children. 

I was happy to do this review, hopefully stirring up interest in a book for more families to enjoy during Advent, and to help the children in this Guatamala mission parish.

And as their motto states:

"It's more than a book, it's an experience"

 If you would like to enter the drawing, please leave a comment to let me know and share the news, if you can.  The last day for entry is next Sunday, November 18th!

The authors also have a book blog that you may visit for more information on their book:) d-bethlehem.blogspot.com

Yay, this is kicking off my own Advent planning!

I'm starting my review with what we did last year...
Preparing a J.O.Y.ful Advent.
Don't forget to enter the drawing and help spread the word!
(Remember, this would also make a great gift:)
