A Christmas Journey

This book provides all the warmth and anticipation of the festive season, while drawing on spiritual lessons that can be learned from the Christmas story. A Christmas Journey takes a fresh look at the Christmas story. It acknowledges children's love of all things festive, then begins its journey at creation, where God's perfect world is quickly spoiled. Christmas becomes part of God's plan to put things right. With all the traditional elements of the well-loved story in place, the characters involved become people that children can relate to in everyday life. It's formatted for "read-to-me" family-together time. Lavishly illustrated, this delightful storybook tells of God's plan to bring light back to his rebellious people. Like pieces of a big jigsaw puzzle, Poole's 15 tales begin at creation---and reach their fitting crescendo at Jesus' birth in Bethlehem. Contains useful bible references and glossary of words/phrases at the end of book.
