It’s the most wonderful time of the year, as the song goes. But the hustle and bustle of Christmas can make you feel tired and stressed. Not exactly how you want to spend the holidays.
That’s why I’m sharing something special for #GivingTuesday. Something to help you slow down, relax, and focus on the Christ of Christmas. Jesus is “the reason for the season,” after all.
Today, I’m linking to a FREE resource for your holiday quiet times. So take a break from your holiday to-do list, download the ebook (linked below), and enjoy!

Beyond the Tree: A Free Ebook
Do you want the holiday season to reflect a deeper relationship with God? Do you struggle to keep it holy and focused on the Christmas story (Luke 2:1-20)? If your answer is “yes,” you might want to read this book:
Beyond the Tree: 20 Meditations to Set Your Heart and Mind on the Christ of Christmas.
Erin Davis wrote Beyond the Tree to help you “dig deeper in your faith” – to find “nuggets of truth and encouragement.” Use it for your personal quiet time or as Advent devotions with your family or small group.
Time speeds up as we get older, and everything speeds up around Christmas. Beyond the Tree can help you slow down, “recalibrate your heart and mind,” and focus on Jesus. To help you start off on the right foot, Revive Our Hearts is offering a FREE download right now.
Make This Christmas Different
I love Christmas as much as the next person, but it’s easy to get caught up in the holiday hustle. Thankfully, you don’t have to work yourself into a frenzy of stress. This year, do something different:
- Buy Beyond the Tree or download the free ebook
- Slow down for a few minutes each day
- Find a quiet place to read, reflect, and pray
- Dig deeper in your faith.
For more by Erin Davis, check out these biblical resources. She has collaborated with others to publish Christ-centered books for women and girls. For example: Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Dannah Gresh, Josh McDowell, and Candace Cameron Bure.
You can find all her books on Amazon. If the free download for Beyond the Tree has expired, check there for the Kindle edition. Or show Davis some Christmas cheer and visit her website.
Wrapping It Up
The demands of the holiday season can take a toll on you and your family. Are they pulling your thoughts “out of the manger” and on to things that don’t matter?
Erin Davis said there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who ooze the Christmas spirit, and those whose spirits limp into the holiday season. If you hang out in the second camp, Beyond the Tree is for you. It will help you focus on Christ and keep the holidays holy. ◻️
