THE CHRISTMAS STORY

From Gabriel's visit to the flight into Egypt, the arrival and early childhood of Jesus Christ are sensitively portrayed in breathtaking illustrations rendered in acrylic on canvas.

The life of Christ is brought full-circle in this exquisite book, offering a prologue and epilogue encouraging children to both notice and honor the true meaning of Christmas.

The Christmas Story is patterned after Carol Heyer's critically acclaimed The Easter Story.

CAROL HEYER's art career has taken her from film studios and sets to the pages of children's books. With a fine arts degree from California Lutheran University, she has received numerous awards in illustration.

Her artwork and adaptations have been featured in many children's books, such as The Easter Story Beauty and the Beast, and Excalibur. Heyer lives in Thousand Oaks, California.

The Easter Story

"The Easter Story can serve as a creditable catalyst for family discussions regarding the true meaning behind this important celebration."

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
