A subtle and yet obvious, beautifully simplified tale about God’s grace…
The Jesus Christ finds new disciple in the old Santa on Christmas eve in this beautifully written picture book by Saranpa. It’s Christmas eve, and Santa Claus is busy distributing gifts. But when he climbs down a chimney and comes face to face with Jesus Christ whose name he cannot find on his list, he realizes he has no idea about the existence of the Christ. As Santa sit with Jesus, he learns that the eternal life is God’s gift. The characters of Jesus and Santa are thoroughly humane, making it easier for the young readers to feel connected to them. The beautifully drawn illustrations by John Hicks that show holiday decorations compliment the graceful mood of this Christmas-eve story. Accessible, light-toned, and simple in prose, this picture book is an ideal introduction to the Christ and is a must-have for the young Christians’ bookshelves.
