SHORT PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Truth Tats:  The Christmas Story
Celebrating the Season of Advent with Truth Tats

Designed just for the season, Christmas Truth Tats present a new way of telling the story of Christ’s birth.  Truth Tats are temporarily on your skin, permanently on your heart.

This is a five week program leading up to Christmas day, each packet of Truth Tats includes a family devotional booklet that kicks off each memory scripture of the week.  The twenty accompanying Scripture tattoos are a visual way to continually applying and memorize God’s word.  Each week opens with a set of four identical Scripture tattoo designs so that each family member can have his or her own tattoo!  Week two, there is a new Scripture for memorization and four new tattoo designs, again identical designs so each person is memorizing the same Scripture.

For over 1,000 years Christians worldwide have been celebrating Advent, a time of spiritual preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ.  The word “advent” comes from the Latin adventus meaning “coming toward”.  So it is entirely appropriate that the four weeks prior to Christmas we will be preparing our hearts for His Advent.

Truth Tats are a unique way to celebrate the season as well as to “show and tell” God’s word to others.  This is ideal for the classroom, family devotion time, and in personal Scripture memorization

My Thoughts:
Advent actually has not started yet, so we haven't used any of the tattoos, but we are very excited to start.
I think this is a creative idea that will definitely generate conversation and encourage Scripture memorization.  I read through the devotionals and look forward to sharing them with my family.  My kids checked out the tattoos and cannot wait to get started.  They are nice-looking and easy to use.  There is a new set coming out on December 1, that is a 13 week series.  I think they are a great tool for memorizing and studying the Word. Be sure to check out the website.  I received the Christmas TruthTats free in exchange for my honest review.
