25 Stockings to Christmas

A Devotional Advent Journey for All Ages

Count down to Christmas with contemporary reflections on the Nativity story. Beginning on the 1st December and journeying through to Christmas Day, this free app moves through the story with a daily Bible reading followed by a contemporary reflection and prayer in ordinary accessible language.

Suitable for individuals, couples, families or flatmates, the material is designed to include something fresh and new every day. The Christmas season is an opportunity for all-age and all-stage followers of Jesus to enjoy and reflect on their own faith journey. Enjoy the app by listening to the audio files as you go about your regular routines, or if you'd prefer to pause to read while you listen or just read - the choice is yours!.

Caroline Bindon wrote the material over many years to use with her own children and family. The content has grown over this time, meeting the interests of her family from year to year. If you're looking for further inspirational thoughts and creative ideas to bring real meaning to your Christmas experience, click on the Kereru in the app and go to the Kereru Publishing website to buy the "25 Stockings to Christmas" eBook. You can purchase it in ePUB, PDF or MOBI (for Kindle) formats.

The app includes Bible Time, Reflection Time and Prayer Time, all the same content from the book. However, additionally in the book there are a further six different ‘times’ included for each day from which participants can mix and match depending on available time and resources. The different ‘times’ include: Question Time, Reflection Time, Activity Time, Decoration Time, Study Time and Response Time.
