Beautiful, Meaningful, Imaginative

EndorsementJoy of Advent Book
Written By Rebecca Grabill

What a beautiful, meaningful, imaginative, and fun-filled interactive book with a website!

Biblical storytelling, from foretelling to fulfilling, from stump to branches, from hyssop to hyssop, from century to century we are captivated to live in the story. Beautiful illustrations, notable music, I-can-smell-it recipes and activities all contribute to memory-shaped meaning and identity. I cannot put the book down and am ready to recommend it to our young millennial couples.

Authors and practitioners Rebecca and Stephen Grabill are able to show us how to form, disciple, and pass along biblical values and family traditions to the next generation. Through emotional resonance, personal significance, conversational reflection and introspection, ‘one’ day of Christmas is transformed into a season of celebration.

May I commend you to welcome The Joy of Advent into your home.

—Samuel E. Chiang, Deputy Secretary General, World Evangelical Alliance

Rebecca Grabill

Rebecca has been writing since childhood, her first book about a kitten published between homemade cardboard covers in second grade. Although she studied religion and philosophy in university, she continued writing, earning an MFA from Hamline University and publishing multiple picture books (no longer with homemade covers) and a collection of poetry with a variety of New York and independent publishers. She has also published a wide array of fiction, essays, and poetry in magazines and journals and photographs for Getty Images. She balances writing with homeschooling the younger of her six children, launching her young adults, church activities, and overseeing a small flock of chickens in rural West Michigan.
