Christmas Books About Christ

I love the idea of gifting kids quality books as presents vs. toys, and am always on the hunt for ones that can help communicate the awesome truth of God’s love for His children. With Christmas just around the corner, I’ve rounded up a list of Christ-Centered Christmas Books for you to enjoy with your children (or gift to your nieces, nephews and god-children) that help explain the REAL meaning of Christmas and God’s greatest gift of all: the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Jesus Storybook Bible Christmas Collection: This is a beautiful book from our favorite Jesus Storybook Bible. Lively loves the audio and songs associated with this version too!
Jesus Calling The Story of Christmas: Teach your children the story of Christmas starting from creation! Children will discover that God always had a plan for Christmas even from the beginning.
This is the Christmas Story: My friend got this for Lively last year and it’s one we LOVE and read all year long.
All the Colors of Christmas: we love every book by Matthew Paul Turner and this is no exception. Magnifies Jesus while also celebrates all the festivities of the season.
The First Christmas Night: this is the “Jesus version” of the Night Before Christmas!
A Birthday Party for Jesus: A heartwarming reminder to children that Christmas isn’t about Santa or asking for presents; it’s about celebrating Jesus’s birthday.
M is for Manger: Travel through the alphabet with this beautiful rhyming storybook that tells the story of Jesus’ birth. Begin with the angel who tells Mary that she is God’s chosen vessel and follow along until you reach the zillions of stars that paled in comparison to the star that announced the birthplace of the newborn King.
Room for a Little One: A lovely and sweet little story from the animals’ point of view surrounding Jesus.
Song of the Stars: I have heard so many wonderful things about this book. It’s written by the same author as the Jesus Storybook Bible (amazing) and have no doubt it’s a beautifully written Christ-centered story.
The Christmas Promise: A captivating retelling of the Christmas story showing how God kept His promise to send a new King. Sweet illustrations, faithful, Bible-centered story-telling!
The Christmas Baby: This would be a great gift for “Baby’s 1st Christmas!”
Little His Majesty: sweet book about the characters from the 12 days of Christmas and how they get to meet His Majesty.

I also really adore the Giving Manger book. It’s an Advent activity that shifts the focus of the season back to giving. I can’t read it without crying!
