Publisher's Description
Recall the experience of gathering in a festively decorated church sanctuary with a lighted candle in your hand, the sanctuary aglow in candlelight, singing the beloved Christmas hymn, "Silent Night, Holy Night." These short stories, originally presented by the author during church candlelight services, are intended to elicit the thoughts and emotions that are unique to Christmas Eve. While the stories are the product of the author's imagination, the author strives to be faithful to the story of Jesus' birth and its meaning as found in Scripture. This book is designed to be used for personal enjoyment, devotional reading, presentation at a worship service, and group study.

“Dan Schomer helps the ancient narrative of the birth of the Christ child come alive in wonderful and creative ways. He has a gift for telling a story that keeps the reader engaged and wanting more. His writings can be used in a variety of ways to open our minds to consider what God’s message is for each of us. This book is a wonderful tool for pastors, Christian educators, and families.”
“Dan Schomer has written a wonderful book of stories and more. Each one's an example to all pastors on how to craft and tell a story in a way that captivates, illuminates, and inspires. What’s amazing is that he wrote a new one each year for Christmas Eve. I wish I had known about these stories years ago. It would have made my Christmas Eves and the rest of the year much more inspiring and memorable.”
