The events surrounding two of the most important births in history, as told by Zechariah. Hmmm . . . er . . . when we say ‘as told’ by Zechariah, there is of course a slight twist to this, given that the poor man was struck dumb for the period of Elizabeth’s confinement. The story is told through drama and pictures, and along with each episode there’s a fun quiz that can be used in the service or in Sunday school.

The questions are based on the story and a correct answer is rewarded with opening a door on an advent calendar photocopied from the book. Behind each door there’s a Bible verse to look up, or words from a Bible verse to put together. There is also a resource sheet that can be used either as part of the Sunday school lesson or given as a take-home sheet.
