I'm giddy with excitement as Advent approaches. The big question is... what book(s) will I/my family choose to read this year? There are just way too many good choices. Holy Spirit, inspire us all with what we need this Advent to grow in our love for Christ and to make our souls a home worthy of the King.
I break the list down into what the book is geared for, but I will be having even my youngest ones join in for all the family prayers and whatever books we choose. :)
