A meaningful Christmas picture book sure to inspire and delight young readers. In a tiny barn in Bethlehem, Old Hannah the cow lives alone until the cold wind drives other animals to seek shelter. One by one, they squeeze in, but when a tiny mouse stirs up trouble, the barn erupts into chaotic mooing, meowing, and barking. Will there be enough room for a little family to have a silent night? Just Enough Room for Christmas is written to be read aloud, at home, in preschool classes and church children’s messages, or even Christmas Eve services. Families often get distracted by all the noise of the Christmas season. When we clear away all the clutter and distractions we find, in our homes and hearts, just enough room for the newborn King.

Winner of Serious Writer's Book of the Decade Award The Very Best Story Ever Told shares the Gospel story in a unique and creative way, from God's love for the world to Jesus' life to the Spirit surrounding us today.

As the sun begins to set, arctic animals scurry to prepare for six months of darkness and cold.

But as he drags it home, Putak the polar bear, Aput the arctic fox, and Masak the caribou eye this little lemming’s prize and want it for their own.

"Bible fun that touches hearts! Combine your favorite Bible stories with actions and hand motions, and Baby begins to learn about important Bible heroes. Each story ends with a prayer ; you ass the cuddle!"--Cover back.

There is no handy rule of thumb, no blanket explanation for why a crime goes unsolved. Sometimes the sheer multiplicity of possibilities defeats investigators, as in a carefully executed murder from which many people stand to gain something, if only revenge. There are crimes so mystifying, so unusual, so devoid of clues or comprehensible motive, that the cleverest detectives are stumped. On these misdeeds the books remain open, growing dustier with the years. But the mysteries themselves never dull with time. They still keep people guessing. This book contains several cases in which the murderer could have gotten lost in such a crowd.

Simple verses, songs, prayers, and activities to help young children express worship to God.
