- Synopsis
- Here is a collection of 25 beautifully presented short stories by Christian authors both contemporary and historical about the ways the spiritual nature of Christmas impacts many lives in need for their good. They will stir, entertain and warm readers of all ages. Read one every evening beginning with December first and ending on Christmas Day to enhance your pleasure and worship during Christmas. A young Louisa May Alcott in recalling a brief Christmas romance is inspired to create one of her most loved characters. An orphan seeking a lump of coal she can't afford receives far more from a caring friend. Opposing armies during the Civil War find a place of tranquility and happiness on Christmas Eve. In a grieving family, a brother and sister discover that nothing can prevent them from celebrating Christmas. A wealthy man seeking to buy the Christmas star is given far more by people who aren't after his money. A girl who resents having a birthday so close to Christmas is guided by the parable of the poinsettia to love the Christmas season. A despondent shoemaker expecting a visit from the Christ child instead receives many other visitors who revive in him the joy and peace of Christmas. Each story is accompanied by a Bible verse and a picture of a Christmas ornament which is described. Such popular authors as Angela Elwell Hunt, Francine Rivers, Bodie Thoene, Calvin Miller, and many more contributed to this collection.
