Since He loves us so much, I mean."The author tells how the book came to be. "One year I set up an Advent calendar of Christmas activities, and started looking for an Advent book to share with my little charges the greatest love story of all eternity. "Except, I couldn't find just the right one. There were lots of books that were beautiful and interesting and would have been amazing, except they were all missing some element that I desperately desired. I needed a book that started at the beginning, that told the story from the moment God existed and nothing else did. I needed a book that was short and to-the-point, because these rambunctious boys were not going to stay focused for more than a few minutes. I needed a book that told the whole story- how Jesus was promised from the garden and everything we learn after that just pointed to Him."So, what does any writer-of-a-woman do? I grabbed a composition notebook and pencil and a box of crayons, and made my own."Share with your little loved ones the Christmas story of the One who created Love itself.
