From: $8.40

Be inspired by the stories behind 25 popular Christmas songs

Have you ever wondered what silent night actually inspired “Silent Night”?

Or why the prolific hymn writer Isaac Watts penned “Joy to the World”?

Or what caused comedian Mark Lowry to write “Mary, Did You Know?”

The Songs Tell the Story is an Advent Devotional that shares interesting trivia and the origin stories of 25 well-known Christmas songs and hymns and answers questions like the ones above.

Written in 2019 by Janet Denison, this devotional also provides biblical encouragement for the season, making clear the connections between the songs we know so well and the gift of Jesus we celebrate at Christmas.

Janet is not only a loving mother and grandmother, but a seasoned Bible teacher and preacher’s wife for the past four decades who has a true gift for identifying God’s truth in every season (including Christmas).

The 25 Advent devotionals are perfect for starting on December 1 and ending on Christmas Day!

Each reading only takes a few minutes, but we pray that after reading about how a Christmas hymn came to be, you and your family will want to listen to the song with a newfound appreciation for how God worked to bring such a timeless song into our yearly celebrations of the gift of Christmas.

So make sure to grab your copy while it is still available and to ensure you can begin reading it on Dec. 1!

May this Advent devotional draw you deeper into the wonder of God’s gift to us in Jesus this Christmas.
