Christmas..... my most favorite time of the year! I enjoyed being able to review this new book for children, Peace on Earth: A Christmas Collection, by Mary Engelbreit. It is now that we begin to make plans for the holidays, decorate our homes for Christmas, and gather with family and friends. Reading this sweet collection of Christmas stories, poems, carols, and sayings helps keep my heart focused on the real meaning of Christmas..... Jesus!
I love how Mary Engelbreit includes the real Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke. She also included several of my favorite carols such as "Silent Night" and "The First Noel" as well as another favorite song, "The Friendly Beasts." My children were mesmerized by each page and wanted to read the book again as soon as we finished it the first time! As always, her illustrations cover each page and bring the songs and stories to life! I think we have found a new book to add to our family holiday traditions! This book would make a nice gift to share with someone this holiday season.
I am reviewing a copy of this book complimentary of BookSneeze. All opinions expressed are my own. I highly recommend this book for everyone both young and old! We can all use a good reminder to keep Jesus as the "Reason for the Season," and this book will definitely help you do that! :)
