Advent Books...Just For Your Family

Many of you have read one of the books in the Jotham's Journey

trilogy. I’m sure you enjoyed it as much as our family has the past

few years. We are always on the edge of our seats each night when

we close the book. We can not wait to read more!!! All three books

are quite exciting and provide many opportunities for discussion.

We have read Jotham’s Journey at least three times, as well as

Bartholomew’s Passage and Tabitha’s Travels.

Below are descriptions of each book. If you have not read any

of these books, I would recommend reading Jotham's Journey first.

If that does not work out for you, feel free to read them in any order.

One of the reasons I mention these books NOW is so they will be

available in your home as soon as Thanksgiving is over. The past

few years we have sold out of these books and some families had to

play catch up so they could finish in time for Christmas. Don’t wait

or you may be too late.

If you buy the entire set, you will receive 20% off. You will be so

glad you purchased ALL of them!

JOTHAM'S JOURNEY

Over and over Jotham screamed for his family, but there was no one to

hear him. They had vanished. He was alone. Where had they gone? How

long ago had they left? Through quick, stabbing sobs Jotham told himself,

I must look for my family. I must search until I find them. Thus begins

Jothams' Journey.

In one of the most exciting Advent stories you will ever read, follow

10 year old Jotham across Israel as he seraches for his family. Hold

your breath when he faces thieves, robbers, and kidnappers. Rejoice

in his encounters with wise men, shepherds and innkeepers until at last

he finds his way to the Savior born in Bethlehem.

BARTHOLOMEW'S PASSAGE

Day by day through the Advent season, you and your family can prepare

for Christmas by reading Bartholomew's spellbinding story. Follow

him from when Roman soldiers destroy his village and disperse his

family, through his enslavement to a tyrannical master and his

escape with his new friend Nathan, to his reunion with his family and

a wonderful climax in Bethlehem. Along the way Bartholomew meets

a new pal, Jotham, whom many readers have grown to love in

Jotham's Journey.

TABITHA'S TRAVELS

The adventures of Jotham and Bartholomew continue as their friend

Tabitha begins her own travels. What happened to Tabitha from the time

Jotham left her until Bartholomew met her? Where did she go when

she left Qumran, and did she ever accomplish what she set out to do?

Tabitha's Travels follows Jotham's friend to places that girls aren't

supposed to go in 4 B.C. Palestine! Never one to shy away from an

adventure or a fight, Tabitha shows the men of her world just what a

girl can do.

The third and final installment of the Jotham's Journey series,

Tabitha's Travels ties up all the loose ends, and lets us see

what was going on while Jotham and Bartholomew had their

backs turned!

Each book includes:

-a portion of the story for every day of Advent, including Christmas Day

-an advent calendar schedule

-ideas for celebrating Advent

- symbolism of the candles

You should begin reading on the Sunday after Thanksgiving as you

celebrate Advent this year.

DON'T MISS THESE FANTASTIC books.

(disclaimer #1 - there are some rough scenes in a few parts of this book,

due to the time period being described

disclaimer #2 - we prefer the story in each book OVER the devotional

at the end of each chapter!)

Advent is Soon...Are You Ready?

Advent is simply a time set apart for spiritual preparation. Those

weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas should prepare us for

the glorious celebration of God's Son, Jesus Christ, coming to earth

as a man. The best sites I have found to get started celebrating advent are:

Listen to My Interview Online

I had so much fun being interviewed last Thursday.

After the interview we received some of the

most encouraging e-mails about the tips from

our teleseminar. I hope everyone that listened

was able to take away a few ideas they can

implement immediately.

HOMESCHOOLING

One of the coolest things about homeschooling

is the fact that you, the parent, can choose

what is most important to study. For our kids,

I want to be sure they can “think outside the box”.

One of the best ways we have found to help them

“think outside the box” is by having them

involved in our family business. We work as

a team to solve problems, instead of the

public school model of solving your problem

by yourself with no help from others. The

skills your kids gain from a family business

will provide the opportunity for freedom and

independence in their adult life. If you want

to teach your kids business and entrepreneurial

skills, eBay is the best place to start. I hope

my call about a family eBay business will

encourage you to start your own family business today.

INTERVIEW ONLINE

If you were not able to hear the interview last

night, you can still catch it online. All you

have to do is go to

Women's Home Based Business

and opt in. The first e-mail you receive will give you the details for finding the preview call.

If you don’t know how to

record it on to the cd (I surely don’t know how

to do that), you can listen to it on your computer.

I will be giving more tips at the Family E-Biz Expo

on January 20-21, 2006 in Austin, Texas.
