With simple words and rhyme scheme ideal for children ages 4 to 7, Julie Stiegemeyer recreates the sights and sounds of the first Christmas. Christmas Night emphasizes the two natures of Christ -- His abject humility and His ultimate divinity. With each verse, Jesus' perfect life and death on our behalf is underscored. Most of Christmas Night takes place in the humble stall as a paradoxical setting for the birth of the King of kings and the Lord of lords: "Jesus has no kingly hall. Jesus has no fortress tall.

From Annunciation to Ascension, this picture book explores key events in Jesus mortal life on earth and connects these events in history with the promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. The book combines read-me-a-story text with colorful, child-friendly illustrations to communicate Gods truth as revealed in His Holy Word. It offers 27 stories based on the Gospels and the Book of Acts.

The Touch-and-Feel books use bright, charming illustrations to immediately capture the young childs attention. Simple, playful rhyme tells the story and encourages the child to turn the page for more. Besides being extremely visually appealing, each set of pages includes a special feature that encourages little fingers to touch, explore, and learn. A bit of tactile material (smooth fabric, sandpaper, leather, etc) peaks through a die-cut opening. Christmas retells the biblical account of Jesus birth. The very young child learns that Jesus was born to become the Savior of the world.
