I love the Advent season — it’s a beautiful time to slow down and prepare our hearts for Christmas, focusing on the true reason for the season: Jesus. This year, to make Advent extra meaningful for my husband and me, I ordered the His and Hers Bundle for Advent 2024 from The Daily Grace Co. These devotionals provide a wonderful way for us to center our thoughts on Christ each day as we count down to Christmas.
The bundle that I purchased usually sells out really quickly, but they still have a digital version available. I’ve rounded up some of the best Bible studies and devotionals to help you deepen your faith this Advent, creating space to reflect on God’s love and the incredible gift of His Son.
