As children wait with anticipation for Christmas, they can follow the adventures of Benjamin­­–the littlest watchman–who waits for and then witnesses the first Christmas. Kids will be gripped by what Benjamin saw, and will be excited by the nativity story all over again. They will also learn why God's people looked forward to the birth of Jesus, God's promised saviour King.

Can be read to children aged 3-5, or read by children aged 6-7. A perfect gift for advent as you help children focus on Jesus at Christmas. Written by Scott James, author of The Expected One.

Can be bought with accompanying Jesse Tree advent calendar for family advent devotions.

The Littlest Watchman will not only encourage our children as they contemplate the coming of Christ, but also encourage the child in each of us as we eagerly wait for his return!
