Description
Once upon a time, a lamb and his mommy were selected to participate in a live Nativity Scene sponsored by a local church in Colorado. The Christmas story is retold, replete with full-color original artwork, through the very inquisitive lamb's questions and his mother's replies. Pertinent biblical passages are shared by a narrating pastor. You will find this mini-novel to be a new and refreshing perspective on Christmas, designed for Christian parents to read and discuss with their children during the Christmas season. What people are saying: We thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It has a permanent spot on our bookcase and the kids love to pull it out and read it whenever they need a book to read. Hearing the nativity from a different viewpoint has opened our eyes and hearts to the meaning and story behind Christmas. It has helped us to know how to be more Christian and how to show love and acceptance of others. Review: The Old Schoolhouse(R) Magazine Away in the Manger: The Christmas Story from a Nativity Scene Lamb's Point of View This is no ordinary Christmas story book, for it tells the Christmas story in an entirely new and fresh way that will capture the hearts of both children and adults. The book is filled with beautiful life-like illustrations and rich content that will educate children and surprise adults, enriching the typical way the story has grown to be told with fascinating Christian history and solid theology. Using God's creation, in this case a lamb, to tell the Christmas story, brings a compelling picture of the true meaning of Christmas. The child-like perspective of Ransom, the inquisitive Lamb, draws you in as he asks the same profound questions a child might ask if he or she had been there. The story naturally flows into a salvation invitation and prayer. Anyone who has children in their life should first read this book and then give it as a gift with a personal inscription to each and every child they can think of this Christmas. For the greatest gift of all is the Christmas story. --Monte Swan is a research/exploration geologist and author of Romancing Your Child's Heart, its Vision & Strategy Manual, and The Secret of Singing Springs (a family novel).
