Jotham's Journey: A Storybook For Advent
Over 10,000 copies of Jotham's Journey have passed through the Timberdoodle warehouse, making it one of our most popular titles. In fact, it is so sought-after that when it went out of print, used copies were being sold for triple the retail price! What makes this book so desirable?

Kidnappers, Wise Men, Shepherds...
Jotham's Journey is the story of a ten-year-old shepherd boy who, in a fit of anger, runs away from his father's tent. His nomadic family assumes he is dead and travels on. Remorseful Jotham tries to reconnect with his loved ones. As he proceeds through Palestine, he encounters a tangle of kidnappers, wise men, shepherds, and innkeepers, then finally the Savior who was born in Bethlehem.

Captivating Family Devotional
Written as an advent resource for parents, Jotham's Journey will focus the attention of the whole family on the true meaning of Christmas. Every night, as your family reads another intriguing episode, children and adults alike will be captivated by Jotham's remarkable adventure. Far more accurate than the nativity fluff families see on TV, Jotham's Journey will open your eyes to what life was really like for Israelites living in an occupied nation. Each installment of the story is followed by a short devotional designed to challenge your family during a season that is commercially bent on self-indulgence.

Start This Book on November 29th!
Order now to get the full benefits of this devotional. Jotham's Journey is designed to be started on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, so you will want your copy in hand before November 29th. (However, if you are ordering in late fall, so that your book arrives after November 29th, we suggest you just double up, one devotion in the morning, one at night, until you have caught up.) 168 pages, with introductory notes and ideas for celebrating Advent.

    Great books! February 23, 2010
    Reviewer: Lori Giardino from Rochester, NY United States  
    We have been using this series of books for several years, rotating through the books by year. The children always look forward to our evening reading time. Although the stories are fictional, they give us an idea of what things may have been like in Bible times as well as allowing us to be part of the wonder of the birth of Christ. Highly recommended!

    Yippee! An Advent My Family Loves! December 7, 2009
    Reviewer: Jennifer Koehler from Peoria, AZ United States  
    I was not looking to buy another advent book. The last two were a flop. I tried a couple years ago to add advent as a meaningful tradition, but I seemed to be the only one interested, so I let it go. Then I saw the reviews for Jotham and decided to give it a try.

    Wow! We were hooked from the first night. My daughter asks to read it each night. My husband even stays awake for it.  My oldest even went to tears last night when she thought we were going to put her to bed before we read for the night, a misunderstanding.

    Point is, it is interesting and full of great explanations about how Jesus is the promised Messiah, and what that means for us today. Great!

    Years later, this book still speaks to me November 5, 2008
    Reviewer: Susan K. from Broken Arrow, OK  
    This was one of the best stories to read during Christmas season as it fleshes out the feel of what it would have been like to actually be there when Christ was born and the story is so exciting (some parts are a little scary) my children couldn't wait to read the next one.  The reflections at the end of each chapter truly bring Christ into the season.  Years after reading this book, the part of the "runaway" crying out for Jehovah still speaks to my heart.
