Light of Christmas
This inspiring Christmas storybook features a tale about a young boy named Alexander who lived in the mountains outside of a town named Noel. Every year, Noel met together to watch the lighting of the Christmas torch on Christmas Eve. It was a very special tradition for those in the region. One year, it is announced that the one who brings the greatest gift to the lighting will be the one honored with getting to light the torch.
Alexander and his mother are very poor, and his mother's health is so bad that she is unable to travel to the lighting. As he journeys alone to Noel, he so wishes that he could have brought a gift for a chance to light the torch himself. Join Alexander as he and the rest of the town learn the truest gift that can be given for Christmas is the gift of self. 27 pgs, hc. ~ Brianna
