Start a new family tradition for the Christmas season by reading this "upside-down" book that includes fourteen Bible stories. Begin the week before Christmas with the first side, Promises Made which has seven stories that explore the Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah. On Christmas Day, flip the book over and continue by reading Promises Kept with seven more stories that vividly illustrate how Jesus's life, death, and resurrection and the beginning of the church fulfill God's promises.

Machowski weaves the promises and fulfillments together into one harmonized story that will deepen the family's faith in God's power and control over all of history and their lives too. Each story also includes questions for the family to discuss together.

Westminster Bookstore Note: This book contains cartoon or artistic images of Jesus. There are many people in our constituency who, in a sincere effort to honor the second commandment, refrain from the use of any kind of drawings or pictures of Jesus, even if not intended for a worship context. Out of respect for those who take this position, we have sought to add a note to books in our children’s category which have drawings or depictions of Jesus so that they can factor that into their buying decisions, as they would if they could inspect the books physically.

“Marty Machowski has gifted families with a bite-sized Christmas devotional that beautifully connects the wonder of Jesus’s birth to all the glorious promises that he fulfills. It is a wonderful way to reflect on redemptive realities connecting Christ's birth to God’s fulfilled promises.”

CCEF faculty; author Something Scary Happened

“Promises Made Promises Kept is beautifully illustrated, theologically rich, and saturated with Scripture. Marty masterfully and creatively walks us through the promises God made to his people throughout the Old Testament and then shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of each promise. I’ve always wanted to go back in time to join Jesus and his disciples on the road to Emmaus, and while nothing could fully embody that experience, Promises Made Promises Kept gives us a glimpse.”
