Christmas is only 85 days away, and if you are looking forward to the holiday season as much as I am, then I strongly encourage you to order Cheryl Barker's new devotional book, Christmas for the Heart published September 30, 2025.
I was given early access to this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, and I am so excited that I was. It is simply delightful. The book includes twenty-five days of Christmas devotions, which are beautifully encouraging, filled with biblical references and reminders of the true meaning of Christmas. In addition to the devotions, Barker has inserted many of her own Christmas holiday poems. She also built in areas for self inflection to further explore the wonder of Christmastime. Barker uses writing prompts to aid the reader in writing prayers, remembrances, and present Christmas plans.
The holiday season is such a precious time of year, but it can become blurred by the busyness of the days. Christmas for the Heart is a simple way to unplug and spend some time each day reveling in the true joy of the holidays, the birth of God's only son , Jesus.
