The memorable and meaningful activities, songs, and stories of Prepare Him Room <\/em>will become the fabric of your family\u2019s Christmas memories. So gather them to watch the amazing gospel story unfold every December for generations to come!<\/p>\n

Other Endorsements<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to be purposeful about making this December more Christ-centered for your children, then look carefully at this little book. Marty Machowski provides the ideas, the plans, and the details: all you have to do is follow his lead. He will help your family have a more gospel-filled Christmas season.\u201d –\u00a0Donald S. Whitney, Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY; <\/strong>author of Family Worship: In the Bible, in History, and in Your Home<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prepare Him Room<\/em> is one of the best resources I\u2019ve seen to counter the commercialism, materialism, and sentimentalism that our culture serves up each Christmas. Through Scripture, creative stories, crafts, songs, prayers, and activities, families will be able to reflect on Christ\u2019s birth and the gospel with wonder, gratefulness, and joy. It was a privilege to collaborate with Marty on this project, and I can\u2019t recommend it highly enough.\u201d – Bob Kauflin, Director of Sovereign Grace Music<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet again, Marty Machowski gives us a solid, gospel-centered resource in his new book Prepare Him Room<\/em>. I deeply appreciated the Advent devotionals that consistently pointed to Christ, and my children kept begging me to read the story of Christopher and the Bartimaeus house! In addition, new Advent songs by Bob Kauflin and activities for the children all make this a wonderful resource for every Advent season. Our family will treasure this for years to come.\u201d – Deepak Reju, Pastor of Biblical Counseling and Families, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC; president, Biblical Counseling Coalition; author of The Pastor and Counseling\u00a0<\/em>and On Guard<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
