When Santa Learned the Gospel

I'll be the first to admit that a part of me loves the santa-elf-northpole stories about the Christmas season, but never quite knew how to respond to these things considering that they have nothing to do with the true Biblical meaning of Christmas. However a wise preacher once taught me that when we are faced with any aspect of the culture around us, we have three options: To reject it completely, to receive it without question, or to redeem it - and this book epitomises the approach of redeeming something our culture loves and shining the light of Christ through it. This book is perfect for non-Christians, new Christians and old-hat Christians alike. It is fun, has beautiful illustrations and is so well put together. Definitely one of my favourite Christmas books.

When Santa Learned the Gospel is a no-nonsense fable that turns Santa's world upside down. \\r\\n\\r\\nWhen one of his elves produces a Bible for a little girl, the guy in the big red suit learns that trying to be good enough isn't good enough. Even he is on the naughty list! But the good news of forgiveness changes Santa forever. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe clever rhymes use some meaty theological terms, but they're explained in the Tricky Words Glossary at the back of this beautifully illustrated book. \\r\\n\\r\\nWhen Santa Learned the Gospel is a gift for anyone wanting to introduce little ones to the real message of Christmas: Christ the Saviour is born!

Great book for young children who believe in Santa. \\r\\nIt was a nice link to acknowledge the child's interest in Santa at Christmas time, but bring religion in too. \\r\\nIt had a strong message that we all need saving and God is good. \\r\\nMy kids have enjoyed this and I have brought it now for others.
