Hello Friend,
As we begin winding down 2025, my heart is full of gratitude and wonder for all that God has done. 2025 has brought many changes, including our family’s move to the beautiful North East of England, but one thing has remained constant: the joy of God’s presence in every season.
This time of year always invites reflection; a chance to pause, look back, and thank God for His faithfulness through the good, the bad and the ugly. Out of that reflection came the inspiration for something new; something that helps families slow down and rediscover the true meaning of Christmas together.
Introducing Joy of Christmas: From Creation to Christ — A Family Nativity Storybook
Journey through the story of God’s promises, from the beginning of creation to the birth of Christ, in this beautifully illustrated devotional storybook for families.
The expanded edition now includes:
- Thoughtful reflections about the Nativity story
- Journaling pages for family discussions and prayers
- Creative faith activities to bring Scripture to life for children
Coming soon on Amazon, this devotional makes a perfect companion for Advent, family devotion time, or your Christmas traditions.
Plus: A Free Companion Family Activity Pack
To help you make the most of this season, I’ve created a FREE printable pack filled with simple, faith-filled ideas your family will love:
✨ Scripture Art to spark creativity
🎄 Advent Calendar tracing the story from promise to fulfilment
💕 Kindness Challenge to spread joy in your community
⭐ Nativity Fun Facts & Quizzes for learning and laughter
📖 Journaling Pages to record reflections and prayers
You can print it in colour or black and white, perfect for family time, Sunday school, or group devotionals.
It’s my prayer that this book and activity pack will draw your family closer to the heart of Christmas, to the One who loved us so much that He sent His Son, the greatest gift of all.
With love and blessings,
Cathy Nortey
Author of Joy of Christmas and Out of OBLIVION
