A Boy of Character at Christmas

25 Christmas Devotions for Boys on Faith, Courage, Kindness, and Generosity

Christmas is about more than what is waiting under the tree. It's also an opportunity to help a boy think about the kind of person he is becoming.

A Boy of Character at Christmas is a 25-day Christian devotional for boys that uses the Christmas story to explore faith, courage, kindness, humility, generosity, responsibility, contentment, and other qualities that help boys grow into good men.

Through Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the wise men, and most importantly Jesus, boys are encouraged to think about what character looks like in everyday life.

Each short devotion includes Scripture from the NIV and a simple Think About It or Try This prompt to help boys put the lesson into practice.

Who Is It For?

A Boy of Character at Christmas was created especially for boys around ages 9–14, including tweens and young teens who are ready for a devotional that feels more mature than a children's storybook.

It can be read independently or together as a family and works well as a December devotional leading up to Christmas Day.

A Christmas Devotional About Who He's Becoming

The Christmas story is filled with character.

Mary trusted God when she didn't know what would happen next. Joseph accepted unexpected responsibility. The shepherds paid attention when God interrupted an ordinary night. The wise men were willing to make a long journey because they believed something was worth searching for.

And at the center of it all is Jesus, who showed us a completely different picture of strength.

Over 25 days, boys are invited not only to remember what happened at Christmas, but also to ask an important question:

Who am I becoming?

Because character doesn't suddenly appear when a boy becomes a man.

He's building it now.
