Jotham's Journey

A Storybook for Advent

By: Arnold Ytreeide

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

In this widely popular, exciting story for the advent season, listeners follow 10-year-old Jotham across Israel as he searches for his family. Though he faces thieves, robbers, and kidnappers, Jotham also encounters the wise men, shepherds, and innkeepers until at last he finds his way to the Savior born in Bethlehem.

Sorry if birth of Jesus told from another’s adventure

Maybe just a little slow but all in all excellent! I liked the readers voice

Great family advent story

Very exciting story to take a family through the advent season, may be a little violent but no more than the Bible itself.

Amazing read!

My daughter and I truly enjoyed this, the speaker kept us intrigued with all the characters. We will keep this in our list of books.

a great family advent story

my children of many ages all enjoyed this story. we listened along as part of our holiday experience

Excellent narrator

The format to coordinate with observance of Advent was a bit distracting, if you just wanted to hear the story. However, what an asset this rendition could be, assisting caregivers/parents by building suspense, while imparting Truth for the generations to come, anticipating the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I love this story and it helped us stay on track by listening to it as we drive from place to place

My 8 year old was in awe to hear his Sunday school songs come to life. He related to the seriousness of the situation and how hard it would be to lose your family and feel responsible.

adventure and encouraging

this story was true to the familiar Bible story with additional, plausible narrative added to spark the imagination

A wonderful way to center Christmas around Jesus

Arnold Ytreeide transports you to the time of Jesus’ birth and captivates you with the thrilling story of Jotham and the journey he embarks upon that leads him to Jesus. Each chapter leaves you wanting more and ends with a thought provoking devotional that keeps the Christmas season focused on Jesus each day of Advent leading up to Christmas morning.

Wonderful story. More violence than expected.

This book came highly recommended for kids by a Christian homeschoolers group. While we did LOVE it, there was quite a bit of violence to the story that was unexpected for my younger kids. I would suggest this for kids age eight and older.

Wonderful Advent Story

We love this Audible book! It makes it easy for Mom to turn on every day to listen to as the chapters can be quite long to read aloud. We have the book if the children want to follow along or if we want to read it aloud ourselves.

The narrator is spectacular. We can understand him clearly, his inflections are spot on, and the recording quality is great. Well worth the price. We’re just disappointed none of the other books in the series are recorded.
