Charming, uplifting tale that centers life in a small town around the true Christmas story - the manifestations of God's gift of love and giving. No magic cats, no tacky love story, no shopping 'til you drop - just the simplicity of the real thing. If you want that, you'll love this book!! An old, seemingly hopeless nativity set is restored and in the process, Father Tim discovers the creativity he never thought he had. BTW reading the book is wonderful, but there is something 'extra' that happens when you listen to it! Have no fear, the audio version includes Esther's recipe as well as a few inspirational snippets of Christmas music.
