A lamb with a crippled leg, a young carpenter with an unusual gift, and an angel with a heavenly song. This special collection contains these classic Christmas stories by bestselling author Max Lucado.
The Crippled Lamb: Because Joshua the Lamb was different, he often felt left out-like on the wintry night when he was left behind in a Bethlehem stable. This touching tale helps kids see that even if they're different, God has a unique plan for their lives.
Jacob's Gift: Jacob is a young boy who learns a powerful lesson from his carpentry teacher: When you give a gift to one of God's children, you give a gift to Him. Faced with an important decision, Jacob acts on this lesson and truly gives a gift to God.
Alabaster's Song: Only a young boy could hear the song of Alabaster, the little angel on the Christmas tree. This delightful story of a boy and a gap-toothed cherub teaches the value and wonder of childlike faith.
The Christmas Classic, Max Lucado's Christmas Cross, is newly repackaged and redesigned, and ties in with a major movie release. A Chicago journalist finds himself in a small Texas town on Christmas Eve. Lonely, he encounters old faces and new facts...a hand carved manger, a father's guilt, a young girl's faith. The trip into the past holds his key to the future, and a scarlet cross shows him the way home. In the movie, the main character, Jack, is played by William Moses (of 'Perry Mason' and 'Falcon Crest'). His wife, Meg, is played by Megan Follows (of 'Anne of Green Gables'). The movie also features Steven Curtis Chapman as the town's minister.
