Dear Little Friend,
Will you try to read a page of this book every morning? I do not want it to take the place of your Bible; but I know that very often schoolboys and schoolgirls are hurried in the morning, and have not time to read their Bible till the evening. This little message will not take you long to read; and I have prayed that God may bless it to you day by day. You will see that we begin the year with the words of Jesus, and we end it with His words. We do not go straight through the Bible, but you will notice that we get our messages from every part of it. Will you try to live out your text every day? Think about it, and act upon it, and ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of it during the day.
Your affectionate friend,
Amy Le Feuvre

After reading Christmas Carol, the notoriously reculsive Thomas Carlyle was "seized with a perfect convulsion of hospitality" and threw not one but two Christmas dinner parties. The impact of the story may not always have been so dramatic but, along with Dickens other Christmas writings, it has had a lasting and significant influence upon our ideas about the Christmas spirit, and about the season as a time for celebration, charity, and memory.
Dive into this moving tale full of Dutch customs, family bonds, fun and adventure, ending with a traditional Dutch Christmas celebration. Don't miss out on the two brand-new Dutch recipes at the end, gingerbread cake and speculaas cookies, which both Kaatje and Karel enjoy!
Originally titled Kaatje and the Christmas Compass.
In a snow covered village,
while children all sleep,
the Christmas Cookie Sprinkle Snitcher,
lands with a leap!
All the sprinkles he snitches,
it’s his Christmas fun,
but without sprinkles
the baking cannot be done!
The villagers panic,
but says Little Nat,
“I’ll track down the
Snitcher wherever he’s at!”
Michel is short of money, but he has plenty of determination and is not afraid to work. Everyone will be delighted at how he manages to make this Christmas a special one for his grand’maman.
Full of love, this story makes a heartwarming read-aloud the whole year through.
This beloved and inspiring children's book, now updated and expanded for a new generation, recounts the true story of how an American town took a stand against hate and antisemitism during the holiday season of 1993.
Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles.
No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer.
But one early winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle.
A long, long time ago so long that it’s hard to imagine God promised a new King. He wasn’t any ordinary king, like the ones we see on TV or in books. He would be different. He would be a new King; a rescuing King; a forever King!
