What People Are Saying

“God coming to earth as a baby? That’s as incredible as fitting an oil tanker into a bath tub or a 747 into your garage. No, it’s even more astounding! Christmas may be God’s greatest miracle of all and every boy and girl should be able to know why. And Why Christmas? Provides an exceptional opportunity for parents and Christian leaders to lead their children through a rich and wonderful discovery behind the miralcle of Christmas—I highly recommend this brilliant little book for every child!”

“A delightful little book to use in family worship anytime of the year, but especially during the Christmas season. The simple, colorful illustrations effectively communicate the main idea of each lesson. This is the kind of biblically-sound, theologically-rich, Christ-centered material we’ve come to expect from Shepherd Press. I am envisioning the joy of future December nights reading Why Christmas? With my grandchildren gathered around me.”
