Christmas Night
With simple
words and rhyme scheme ideal for children ages 4 to 7, Julie Stiegemeyer
recreates the sights and sounds of the first Christmas.
Christmas Night
emphasizes the two natures of Christ -- His abject humility and His
ultimate divinity. With each verse, Jesus' perfect life and death on our
behalf is underscored.
Most of
Christmas Night
takes place in the humble stall as a paradoxical setting for the birth
of the King of kings and the Lord of lords: "Jesus has no kingly hall.
Jesus has no fortress tall. Home becomes a cattle stall for Jesus, born
for us. So sequined stars become a crown, night, a robe to wrap around,
God's own Son to earth came down, He's Jesus, born for us."
Christmas Night
predictably recounts the events of that first Christmas, but it also
includes the flight to Egypt, an event not typically found in children's
Christmas books. This additional information helps children begin to see
Jesus' birth as the beginning of a life story that will culminate in His
ascension into heaven.
The illustrations in this book are in keeping with the standard for this
age group—brightly colored images that may have less detail than those
for older children but that capture the drama and reality of the events.
The result is an informative and engaging book that will teach young
readers about the birth of their Savior from sin.

The Story
of Christmas: Fear Not, Joseph!
Scripture offers little about the man who married Mary
and reared Jesus, but Joseph was key to God's promise to send a Savior.
Jesus was not his biological son, but God made Joseph His adopted
father, the provider and caretaker of Mary, and our Savior, Jesus. This
picture book inspired by Scripture tells the story of Christmas from
Joseph's point of view. (Item #84515)

will appreciate how this book invites compassion instead of materialism
through a simplified retelling of the Christmas story.

focus their Christmas celebration on Christ and His gifts to us. At the
conclusion of the book, children are invited to respond to Jesus in
prayer, song, and service. Makes a great book to read as a family before

Making Christmas Count:
A Kid's Guide to Keeping the Season Sacred
Elf Help Book
Written by Ted O'Neal
Illustrated by R.W. Alley
Kids don't need to be told that Christmas "counts." They are generally
tuned in to the excitement and anticipation! And yet, children can be
among the first to forget what it is about the season that really
counts. Much of this may have to do with what our culture—and we
ourselves—teach and practice. This little illustrated book communicates
a message about making Christmas count in all its facets and flavors; it
is a book about recognizing the deepest "reasons for the season.

Wonderworker: The True
Story of How St. Nicholas Became Santa Claus
by Vincent A. Yzermans
Discover the magic inherent in the true story of a man who
overcame relative obscurity in a small Mediterranean city and became a
cultural icon the world over. In Wonderworker: The True Story of How St.
Nicholas Became Santa Claus, Msgr. Vincent Yzermans writes a book for his
grandnephew that explains the evolution of St. Nicholas into Santa Claus.
Nicholas quickly made a name for himself with his eloquence, intelligence
and generosity. Recognized as a miracle worker during his lifetime, he
became known for helping children in need, mothers in labor, and sailors
as they traversed the Mediterranean. The modern incarnation of Santa
Claus, however, became popularized in the mid-19th century through a poem
by Clement Clark Moore called "A Visit from St. Nicholas"-better
known as "The Night Before Christmas"-in the Frank Church
editorial, "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus," and in the
artwork of Thomas Nast and Haddon Sundblom.
This book will appeal to children from the age of nine to ninety-nine.
Anyone who celebrates Christmas-regardless of whether or not they still
believe in the existence of a Santa Claus who brings gifts to children
around the world-will welcome this informative and eloquent explanation of
the true story behind how a humble bishop from Asia became "jolly old
St. Nick." 64 pages. Paperback (Item

The Miracle of Saint
Nicholas
It was the day before Christmas in a small Russian
village. Alexi's babushka was telling him what Christmas was like
when she was a girl - before the soldiers came. "Our church was
as crowded as a pod full of peas. Candles made the church as bright
as the sunniest day. Watching over us was the blessed icon of St.
Nicholas." Alexi had many questions, including, "Why can't
we celebrate Christmas tomorrow in St. Nicholas?" Babushka
sadly replied that it would take a miracle after sixty years. Well,
Alexi had heard enough. If there truly was such a thing as a
miracle, why couldn't one happen here? And so unfolds a story which
poignantly reveals how, though quiet and hidden, faith and hope can
not be suppressed - by soldiers or by time. Beautifully illustrated
with original four-color paintings on every page. A perfect
Christmas present. Hardcover. 32 pages. (Item #81304) $14.95

The First Christmas
Tree and Other Stories
For over one hundred years, the writings of Henry Van
Dyke have been lovingly passed down from generation to generation. His
Christmas stories, especially, are as resonant today as when the
Presbyterian minister first read them to his New York City congregation
in the late 1890s.
In this volume of Christmas stories and prayers, we read of courage,
generosity, and the triumph of light over darkness—from The First
Christmas Tree, a magical tale of the Thunder Oak and the false god
Thor, to the lyrical story of The Christmas Angel in the Country Beyond
the Stars.
Destined to become a Christmas classic for the whole family, The
First Christmas Tree and Other Stories will inspire us all, in the
words of Henry Van Dyke, "to live Christmas—not just Christmas
day." (Item #83257) $15.95

The Very First
Christmas
Many children's Christmas books are long on fancy and short
on fact. Most of them ignore the themes of the first Christmas and opt
instead for fairy tale settings or winter tableaus. This
beautifully illustrated book, a Gold Medallion Book Award winner, fills
the gap by presenting fresh insights into the Christmas story from both
the scriptural and secular context.
The book tells the story of a young boy
Christopher, who no longer wants to hear fairytales; he only wants real
bedtime stories. So his mother tells the amazing and miraculous story of
Jesus' birth. Along the way, Christopher learns the answers to some
challenging questions about the Christmas story. And all the answers are
right from the Bible.
This book makes a wonderful gift
for children, families, and friends. 32 pages. (Item #80317) $15.49

Saint Nicholas: The
Real Story of the Christmas Legend
Many parents and teachers struggle with how to approach the
Saint Nicholas/Santa Claus dilemma. Many deal with this by telling
children that the legends surrounding Santa Claus are based on a real,
historical figure named Nicholas, a Christian bishop known for his
generosity.
This picture book presents a shortened,
somewhat fictionalized version of the life of Saint Nicholas, explaining
that Nicholas was a servant of God and that, through him, God’s love was
reflected to others. The story touches on the ministry of Nicholas and his
generous gift of a dowry to three young girls as a response to God's love
in Jesus. And it brings application to our own lives as we, too, respond
with grateful hearts to God’s great gift of love to us.
Combining museum-quality artwork
and family friendly language, this book clearly articulates how God
showered His love upon us through Christ and helps children see that our
own gift-giving is a grateful response to the sacrificial gift of God’s
Son. 32 pages. (Item #88116) $14.99

The Christmas Quilt
A Novel
A book of love, hope, and warmth, The
Christmas Quilt is about home, about roots, and about "one
small snowflake following another, settling on the ground soft like a
kiss from heaven, covering Smoky Hollow like a blanket of grace that
shines white with goodness."
Reminiscent of Lee Smith's Oral
History or of Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns for its
intimate portrayal of mountain life in an earlier day, The Christmas
Quilt is a compelling and tender account of seven months in the
lives of the members of a family in the mountains of north Georgia. It
will endear you not only to its storyline, but to the pictures it paints
of Sunday dinners, of picking blackberries, of running train tracks, of
a revival meeting, and of Granny creating a quilt for her long-absent
son. Paperback. (Item #88160) $12.99

Build Your Own
Bethlehem: A Nativity Scene and Activity Book for Christmastime
by Gertrud Mueller Nelson with Peter Mazar
Here are all the characters—and then some—for
building your own nativity scene! Each figure is yours to pop loose and
set up as the days of Christmas unfold. There’s the Holy Family of
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. There’s the stable with scampering mice and
cooing doves that sit in the rafters. There’s the ox and ass and a flock
of sheep accompanied by shepherds and their faithful dog. There’s an
angel, of course, and a star. Epiphany’s three holy kings, Caspar,
Melchior and Balthasar, are here too. And there are surprises—the
gospel’s “senior citizens,” Anna and Simeon, who wait 40 days to
meet their newborn Lord.
This beautiful,
full-color activity book (the pop-out figures are found inside) suggests
eight occasions, from Christmas until Candlemas—a full 40 days—for
using the figures to tell a portion of the nativity gospels, like a puppet
theater! The art of Gertrud Mueller Nelson and the sturdy pop-out figures
truly bring the Christmas stories to life.
Building your own
Bethlehem is a wonderful way to keep the spirit of Christmas alive well
into the new year—perfect for home or classroom, perfect for every age.
Celebrate these
Advent and Christmas stories at home or in the classroom:
• The annunciation to Mary
• The birth of Jesus
• The coming of the shepherds
• The flight into Egypt
• The visit of the Magi
• And more!
8 1/2 X 11, 40 pages. (Item #87693) $15.00
