But for those who feel bankrupt, without real meaning or hope either for themselves or for the world Christmas can be genuinely life-changing.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Christmas Star
$16.99Robert Reed gave his life for his country in the early days of World War II. His sacrifice was honored when his widow and son were presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor. Each Christmas, the final decoration Madge Reed hangs on the family’s tree is that medal. Sadly, rather than being a symbol of honor for young Jimmy Reed, the shining star represents loss, pain, and suffering.
However, a letter delivered by one of Robert’s fellow soldiers poses a mystery that puts a father’s sacrifice and faith into perspective. Not only does the letter bring new meaning to the star hanging on the Christmas tree, but it also illuminates the events of the very first Christmas.
Then, when least expected, a Christmas miracle turns a bit of holiday sadness into a joy that the boy has never known.

Marys First Christmas
$13.73We have all seen the story of the birth of Jesus portrayed at Christmas. It is a beautiful story, and we never tire of watching each scene unfold. “Mary’s First Christmas” is the story of the birth of our Savior as described through the eyes of Joseph and Mary. We may gain insight from them as they picture for us the adversity as well as the joy and excitement they experienced from the time of the angel’s appearance to the wondrous birth of God’s Son.
We catch a glimpse of the awe that Mary felt upon Gabriel’s announcement, of the joy she shared with Elizabeth and Zechariah as they awaited the miraculous birth of their own son. We see Joseph’s apprehension at Mary’s announcement, and how then after seeing the angel in a dream commits his life to God as Jesus’ earthly father. We can feel the excitement of the taxing journey to Bethlehem for the census, the fear and hope they felt, even to Joseph’s naming of the little donkey who carried the King of the Ages on his back…”Rocky”, in memory of the sometimes rocky and dangerous path they followed.
We see some of the sensations they felt with their description of the camp fires, the sheep for sacrifice, the beautiful stars in the night sky, and then the discouragement of finding no room upon reaching their destination. But God was always with them, and because of His grace, we know today what they did not yet understand…that this wonderful child, born in a stable, the very Son of God, would bring salvation to a sinful and lost world.

Beginning with God at Christmas helps parents with young children to explore the real Christmas story with their child. Eight Bible stories cover the events of the first Christmas, and a quick introduction to who Jesus is.This special Christmas edition differs slightly from the regular Beginning with God books. The left side of each page is the same as usual containing the ‘main course’ which leads toddlers through that day’s true story from the Bible. On the right side there is space for the sticker and also a picture to color in (based on the sticker) that illustrates the story you have been reading about. This coloring picture is in place of the usual Appetizer menu and Snack for the journey. This makes the book even easier to use and especially accessible for families who don’t normally read the Bible together.
This Christmas edition provides a simple way to start your child in a regular habit of reading God’s word and growing to know God, who loves them. It’s an ideal introduction to the full ‘Beginning with God’ series.

Legend Of The Christmas Kiss
$11.99Swaddled in a sweet poem and wrapped in beautiful illustrations, “The Legend of the Christmas Kiss” delivers a surprisingly fun tale about how the angels sent a beautiful snowfall on the very first Christmas. It all begins with one little angel who wants to bless the newborn Jesus with a gift — her kiss. But something special happens to her kiss after passing through the clouds below — it becomes a glistening speck, drifting down and landing on the Christ child’s cheek. Then as multitudes of angels add their kisses to hers, the earth is covered in a winter wonderland. Barbie Jenkins’ kid-friendly story is joyously paired with illustrations by Joyce Revoir whose cheerful art is featured in numerous children’s books.
