Advent Daily Prayer
Advent is the season of anticipation at the start of the church calendar—a time to join ancient Israel in longing for the promised Messiah while we await his return. This book guides families through daily prayer with simple prayer notes, scriptural references, and accessible language that helps direct your attention to God, his story, and our place in it. No theological background required—just a willingness to pause and pay attention together.
Who it’s for
Families with children ages 2–8 resonate most with the themes, though the durable board book format works beautifully for younger siblings too. The book is cross-denominational in style and liturgical in feel—designed for any family or church community looking to observe Advent together through daily prayer. Adults and spiritual directors have also found it a meaningful personal resource for the season.
Book + music pairing
Each page of the book has a corresponding song on the companion album. The songs are Taizé-style antiphons—short, memorable, and designed to be sung meditatively. Read while the music plays, sing from memory, or just listen in the car—whatever fits your family’s capacity. Stream on Spotify or Apple Music, or buy the album from our store. Since children are particularly susceptible to distraction by screens, we encourage families to rely on memory when possible.

The King is Coming! A Daily Prayer Storybook for Advent
Story. Song. Prayer.
The King is Coming began with a simple question: what if we took the best of a morning prayer experience and combined it with the songs and stories we were already sharing at night? What if we made a durable, singable, board book family liturgy for Advent? Starting with the liturgical seasons, this book guides families through daily prayer during Advent—incorporating familiar rhythms of prayer, study, and worship with accessible language and scriptural references for deeper parent-guided study.

What a beautiful way to introduce your children to the spiritual practice of examen, and to anticipate the coming King during the season of Advent.
Susan C.
Thank you, Parker, for producing such beautiful books -- inviting in design, and offering the riches of our theological and liturgical and formational traditions in ways that children (and their adult companions!) can access and in which we may be shaped. I'm grateful!
Chase S.
I bought this book to help teach my two year old son about the meaning of Christmas. The first time he heard the song Glory he started dancing around with so much joy. It has become a routine to sing the song and read about the coming of Jesus together. I look forward to reading this book each year as he continues to grow!
