Is the story of Jesus just make-believe? "All About Christmas" digs into the facts to show kids that Jesus is real. Each colorful page invites your family to discover that the Bible is Gods true word. -- Barbara Reaoch (Author, A Jesus Easter and A Jesus Christmas)
What I love about book is that it helps children to grasp not only the context of the Christmas story but also the reality that it is not just a story or a fairytale but that it is a true event in history. In this engaging and colourful book children have all of the facts at their fingertips to allow them to come to this conclusion for themselves. A perfect gift for those children who love to learn and gather information on the whys and hows of a story! -- Victoria Jackson (Childrens Ministry Development Officer, Connor Diocese of the Church of Ireland)
An excellent book with lots of information on each page, but so easy to read. There is great focus on the biblical account but also interesting facts about life in Bible times and Christmas traditions today. Alison sets things straight about those parts of the Christmas story we know to be true and the parts that have become accepted as true (e.g., the stable, three kings.) Children will love it. -- Angie McKee (Education Department, Child Evangelism Fellowship of Ireland)
