It's not enough to get the Bible into your kids, we need to get our kids into the Bible. Get your kids hooked on the Bible with stories about Priest's underwear, an angel named Harry, and the Kingmakers. These stories aren't just for bedtime - they create a thirst that lasts a lifetime! This cool, little stocking-stuffer book contains five rarely heard Bizarre Christmas Bible Stories with color pictures for each chapter. For children, the excitement of the Bible is often its unpredictability. You never know what the omniscient God is going to do-unless, of course, you've heard the story before. Find your kids, their pajamas, and a few minutes of time. They (and you) won't be bored. There are four "Tips" at the end of each chapter, for parents to read with their kids, or for older kids to read on their own. Here's how they work: So, What Should I Do? Each chapter ends with a personal application Where Else is this Taught? Other passages from the bible with similar application are listed here More Notes for the Curious: These are notes to help older children and adults go deeper into each story. Sometimes there are great rabbit trails that just can't make it into the storyline. Poems: At the very end of each story there is a poem to better understand and remember the truth of the story. Also, questions are in bold throughout each chapter where, if an adult is reading to a child, you can stop and ask and see what they are thinking. It makes for some terrific discussions! Bizarre Christmas Bible Stories was written by Dan Cooley to be read by parents to children ages 7 and up, however, older children LOVE reading it for themselves.

Download or read book Santa Claus written by Gerry Bowler and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining, often surprising look at the life of the world’s most influential fictional character. He is the embodiment of charity and generosity, a creation of mythology, a tool of clever capitalists. The very idea of him is enduring and powerful. Santa Claus was born in early-nineteenth-century America, but his family tree goes back seven hundred years to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of children. Intervening generations were shaggy and strange — whip-wielding menaces to naughty boys and girls. Yet as the raucous, outdoor, alcohol-fuelled holiday gave way to a more domestic, sentimental model, a new kind of gift-bringer was called for — a loveable elf, still judgmental but far less threatening. In this engaging social and cultural history, Gerry Bowler examines the place of Santa Claus in history, literature, advertising, and art. He traces his metamorphosis from a beardless youth into a red-suited peddler. He reveals the lesser-known aspects of the gift-bringer’s life — Santa’s involvement with social and political causes of all stripes (he enlisted on the Union side in the American Civil War), his starring role in the movies and as adman for gun-makers and insurance companies. And he demolishes the myths surrounding Santa Claus and Coca-Cola. Santa Claus: A Biography will stand as the classic work on the long-lived and multifarious Mr. Claus.

Book excerpt: The Day Santa Met Jesus will carry you from the Santa Throne to the Throne of God. Santa meets a child who asks for a very unusal gift: a Bible for her Mama. What is a Bible, Santa wonders. As he takes a nap, Santa has an experience that will change his life forever. From the humble birth of Jesus, to the betrayal by Judas, to the angry mob, to the cross, then on to the empty tomb, Santa discovers many things that he had not known. He finds himself in the presence of several people whom Jesus had healed while he ministered on the earth. Among these people was one strange lady. With her came that odd feeling he had earlier with the child who wanted a Bible for her mama. Was there a connection? As you read, you will understand that the child and the woman were meant to be, for they bring about the meaning of a book called the Bible for Santa. As Santa understands more, he accepts Jesus' gift of salvation. He then knows he is not able to give the greatest of all gifts...yet he can share the greatest gift.
