  • The Light in the Lantern: Stories for an Advent Calendar

    Georg DreiĂźig

    Paperback (Wynstones Press, Nov. 1, 1992)
    In the days leading up to Christmas, Mary and Joseph’s path to Bethlehem is fraught with difficulties, but, as the stories in this book reveal, a small miracle happens each day.

With twenty-eight stories, this book may be used as an “Advent calendar,” with the first week’s stories relating to the mineral world, the second to the plant world, followed by the animal kingdom, and finally human beings. This book helps enliven children's imaginations during the festival time of Christmas.
