Books with title The Saint Nick Story

Saint Nick loved and cared for the least fortunate and most vulnerable, just like Jesus! The Saint Nick Story reminds children that the love of God transcends lists of naughty and nice. With rhythmic prose and vivid illustrations, this book will entertain, teach, and encourage children to be like Christ, and will help you create new holiday traditions to celebrate with your child. Navigating fables alongside the truth can be tricky. The Saint Nick Story provides a way to reclaim longstanding Santa traditions while reinforcing that Christmas is about God's great Gift of Love. There is much we can learn about God's love by witnessing his work in those who have followed Jesus before us. The Bible tells us of the Light of the World giving up heaven for a dirty stable in order that he might bring us peace, show us love, and offer us hope. The Saint Nick Story demonstrates what it looks like when we follow the example of Jesus in our care for our neighbor, and encourage them to rejoice in giving.

Originally published in 1910, this collection of stories compiled by Mrs. C.R. Peers involves saintly figures in the Catholic Church set amidst a historically relevant backdrop. Of the 9 legendary stories included in the compilation, 2 focused on a non-human subject - the Westminster Abbey. However, both still involved saints, namely Edward the Confessor and Mellitus, Bishop of London. These colorful accounts have never really been established as complete truths, although some parts of each anecdote can be verified by certain events recorded in history. Some of them allegedly real stories, although some parts were exaggerated, omitted, or replaced with more interesting situations or characters. Take for example the story about St. Francis and the wolf of Gubbio. It has been maintained through the years that the account was merely a legend, as there was no solid evidence proving that such an episode happened in the life of the Poverello, although there have been claims stating that there indeed was a troublesome wolf in Gubbio around the time St. Francis was still active. But while it has been said the saint had passed through the place in one of his journeys, it could not be effectively proven whether he has actually encountered the wolf.Another example is the story of St. George and the dragon, which is also a well- known one among Christians in Europe. It has been said that the dragon is merely a representation of Satan or some evil entity. But then this book is not written as a historical tome - it's a collection of delightful legends about some of the beloved and admired European saints in the Catholic Church designed to entertain and morally educate young Christian readers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
