For several years, my wife and family have encouraged me to write and illustrate a children's Christian Christmas book. A Light in the Forest is a tale of a young boy and girl who are being raised by devout, loving Christian parents, who emphasize the importance of Jesus and God to be at the center of their lives. As the story unfolds, Charlie and Claire are separated from their parent's mountain cabin and find themselves lost in the woods. Through the power of prayer, and trust in God and Jesus, a bright shiny star illuminates the dark and cold snowy night. As a result, a host of animals befriend the children and help to lead them safely back to their warm cabin. We sincerely hope that you and your children find much enjoyment and a fresh review of Christian values from reading A Light in the Forest.
