Dr. van Dyke has written many things about Christmas and no writer of our time has caught as he has the spirit of that day. No one can forget the "Story of the Other Wise Man," "The Lost Word," or "The First Christmas Tree," and now this little book has been brought out called "The Spirit of Christmas," which contains in the most attractive form his latest and best expression of the spirit of that festival. The first chapter in the book he calls "A Dream Story—The Christmas Angel," and it is well worthy of ranking with "The First Christmas Tree." It is an exquisite little story, written in the most graceful and charming style. This is followed by a little essay, "Christmas-Giving and Christmas-Living," most practical and suggestive at this time of the year; then comes a short Christmas sermon called "Keeping Christmas," on the text, "He that regardeth the day, regardeth the Lord," and finally two Christmas prayers, "A Christmas Prayer for the Home" and "A Christmas Prayer for Lonely Folks." There could hardly be a more appropriate and attractive book for this holiday time.

The Spirit of Christmas is a set of short stories, prayers and sermons from the writer, teacher and churchman Henry van Dyke Jr. A superb and inspiring selection of festive wisdom and Christian tales from the heart, this book offers the spiritually-minded reader a set of reflections and tales for the festive period. Designed as a ready reference text, we find here an inspiring and meaningful selection of wisdom that shows us the true spirit of Christmas, and how the season can be a time not merely of giving, but of deepening the spiritual life. At first glance, this book is simply a set of spiritual poems with a general theme of Christmas time and celebration. However, read on a deeper level we find lessons of kindness, compassion, honesty and other virtues, told through the life and spirit of Jesus Christ. Attaining a joyful life surrounded by those whom we love and cherish, and practicing the Christian deeds to those we encounter, are among the lessons told in this text. With this collection of poetry and sermons, Dyke aims and succeeds in showing the Christian reader what Christmas is truly about. As a man who spent decades lecturing and teaching others from the pulpit and the pages of his many books, Henry van Dyke's wisdom has a timelessness which renders this a text worthy of consultation in the present day.
