Here is a collection of eighteen fun, fast-paced stories for Christmas from popular storyteller Bob Hartman. This Christmas collection contains eleven episodes that link directly to the Nativity story, with a further seven folktales that provide memorable insights into the real meaning of Christmas.

Long before Jesus was born, it was foretold that He would rule a peaceable kingdom. In The Animals' Christmas, the classic story of the nativity is interwoven with the ancient Bible prophecy of a time when the lion and lamb would lie down together.

As Mary and Joseph, the Shepherds and the Wise Men set off on their journeys toward Bethlehem, the animals that they pass--goat, ox, wolf, leopard, and lion--start to follow out of curiosity. When Mary and Joseph find a place to shelter in the stable and baby Jesus is born, the animals gather around the manger, creating the perfect scene of the "peaceable kingdom" in which all creation lives in harmony together.

From the annunciation to the first Christmas night, this retelling of the nativity story reflects the message of peace at the heart of the season.

First published in Bob Hartman’s imaginative collection of tales about angels (Angels, Angels, All Around) this is a compelling retelling of a familiar Bible story from a new perspective: the sadness and joy of the first Easter as witnessed by two angels attendant at the crucifixion and the resurrection.

Written by a popular children's author, this captivating and colorful book teaches children an important lesson about God's faithfulness.
