In God's Gift, Christian and his sister Mary believe they get more presents at Christmas. However, Jacob and Jeremiah believe they get more presents on Hanukkah. The children learn that Christmas and Hanukkah are about celebrating the gift God has given to His children. It's not about how many presents are under the tree at Christmas or the eight days of presents for Hanukkah. It's about God's provision for those He loves. God gives the gift of the Messiah to the Christians and the gift of Light to the Jews. The true gift from God is learned in this colorful holiday story!

My Review
God's Gift is about learning what Christmas and Hanukkah are really about. Christian and Jacob have the wrong ideal about Christmas. They both learn what the true meaning is. Teaching them to treat others as God treats us. (love) Loved the book. Great for Sunday school class also. The kids will love the well illustrated book by Dan Sharp and the wonderful story lesson by Lee Ann Mancini. Ages Pre-school to age 6.
