This is Reuel's big chance to prove that he can tend sheep just as well as his older brothers. All he has to do is keep a watchful eye on his little flock. But distracted by his brothers' teasing, he looks away just long enough for a little lamb to wander. Following a frantic search, Reuel finds his missing charge . . . and finds himself in the midst of the biggest announcement ever made. The Christ Child has been born, and Reuel is one of the first chosen to hear the news! After racing through the streets of Bethlehem, his misstep becomes a blessing when he encounters the Baby who will one day become the Shepherd of Men. This tale of the first Christmas, told from the viewpoint of a little boy to whom young readers will relate, is illustrated with gorgeous, detailed paintings by Carol Heyer.

Christmas is our most beloved holiday. No other holiday is so richly decorated, seasoned by joy, and trumpeted with music. It is so big it must be celebrated in a variety of traditions. The Christmas Stories is a collection of twenty pieces that explore these traditions, sometimes with humor. The stories were written and read aloud by the author, one each year, at an annual advent worship service at St Stephen Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, to not only entertain but to inspire readers and listeners to find their own Christmas stories to share. The stories in The Christmas Stories are a mix of fact and fiction but, regardless, address certain truths about Christmas we never question. For example, we know that every year we go home for Christmas, even if its just a journey of the heart, and that children agonize having to wait one slow day at a time for Christmas to arrive, while adults embrace the wait and even give it a name, advent. And that even secularists celebrate the holiday as the highest altar of peace, love, and joy. The Christmas Stories is meant not only to entertain but to inspire readers to find their own stories to share about this most beloved season.

The Christmas story has the power to take life to the next level. Sadly, layer upon layer of tradition has built up around this story over the years, neutralizing its effectiveness to bring the hope that never disappoints and life that not even death can kill. For many people today, Christmas is a feel good holiday, the positive effects of which are extinguished each January. These stories are intended to reignite the light of Christmas and help us see beyond the customs and rituals of the season, to rediscover the spectacular power of the Christmas story to transform lives, not simply for a few weeks but every day, 24/7, 365 days a year. So come discover Christmas in all its God-created beauty, love, and wonder. Experience the miracle that transcends time and even lifts us up to the gates of heaven.
