Best Selling Books by Julie Stiegemeyer

Many parents and teachers struggle with how to approach the Saint Nicholas/Santa Claus dilemma. Many deal with this by telling children that the legends surrounding Santa Claus are based on a real, historical figure named Nicholas, a Christian bishop known for his generosity. This board book presents a shortened, somewhat fictionalized version of the life of Saint Nicholas, explaining that Nicholas was a servant of God and that, through him, Gods love was reflected to others. The story touches on the ministry of Nicholas and his generous gift of a dowry to three young girls as a response to Gods love in Jesus. And it brings application to our own lives as we, too, respond with grateful hearts to Gods great gift of love to us. Combining museum-quality artwork and family friendly language, this book clearly articulates how God showered His love upon us through Christ and helps children see that our own gift-giving is a grateful response to the sacrificial gift of Gods Son.

This board book helps the very young child connect the sights and sounds of Christmas to his/her life as a baptized and redeemed child of God. Simplistic text and illustration stimulate young ones' listening and identification skills.

The books in the Church Book series are designed to assist parents and teachers as they help young children: identify and understand what happens in church and see Jesus at the center of the worship experience, understand the significance of the worship experience, feel a part of the worshipping community, and build a foundation for regular worship.

Each of the seven books in this series are sturdy enough to withstand wear and tear from active toddlers.
