“Catechetically rich and visually stunning, All About Advent and Christmas is just delightful! What a blessing to have such a thorough resource to use as a family during our favorite liturgical season, allowing us to dive even deeper into the meaning and traditions of these holy seasons. Children and adults alike will uncover new insights, as well as unique prayers and celebrations to incorporate into their liturgical life at home. I’ll be returning to this lovely book every year!”

"All About Advent & Christmas is as informative as it is enjoyable to read. These pages serve as a helpful reminder of the familiar Advent customs we love while also introducing readers to ancient customs, saints and prayers they may not have known about before (the chapter on the "O Antiphons" is my favorite!). From cover to cover, so much effort went into creating this book: both the engaging text and colorful images harmoniously work together to create a thorough and appealing explanation of these much beloved liturgical seasons. There's no doubt that having this book in hand will bless your family with Christmas cheer any time you need it— no matter what day, month or liturgical season of the year."
--Fr Peregrine Fletcher, O. Praem.

“All About Advent is a great book that shares the history and traditions of the season of Advent with all of God’s children. Miss Bogner touches upon the themes of Advent along with the major figures or saints of the season, which all point us to the Light in the Darkness, the Lamb of God, the Messiah who has come to save us, Our Lord Jesus Christ. As the secular world seems to rush to Christmas for a day, All About Advent will help all God’s children to better understand how we are called to prepare for the coming of the Messiah at Christmas!”
--Fr. Michael Pica

Artwork and layout was amazing. Quality all the way. Truly a professional job.
The artwork is amazing. It drew me into the book right away. The content is appropriate for young children all the way to adults. The book would be great to share as a family or in a classroom.
This book is so amazing! It's like Katie took the best of Advent & Christmas and wrapped it into one great book! I love it! Seriously, if family's/homes could only have one book about Advent-this would be all you need! It is a fantastic resource with the perfect amount of information and ideas/traditions you can easily incorporate into your domestic church to enhance & make a meaningful Advent and Christmas season. The artwork/illustrations are lovely! The talent from Shari @ Catholic Paper Goods & author Katherine Bogner coming together-make for one incredible keepsake book to bring out year after year in your home!
“Katherine Bogner has written yet another gorgeous guide to an important part of our Church’s liturgical year. If you want to go beyond the Advent calendar and learn more about the fullness of the season, Katherine makes it so easy with this warm and inviting book.”
“All About Advent is small but mighty! Filled with vibrant illustrations and engaging explanations, this book will help converts and cradle Catholics alike better understand, appreciate, and more fully engage in the season of Advent. It’s pretty enough to be a coffee table book and useful enough to be incorporated into a school unit on liturgical seasons—a great resource for individuals, families, and classrooms.”
“With her trademark blend of deep insight and reverent wonder, Katie Bogner joyfully illuminates the path to the manger of Scripture and the manger of our hearts as we await the coming of the Light of the World.”
