A Christmas Journey for Jesus: Spreading Love in the Forest and Beyond
In A Christmas Journey for Jesus, Susan Jones and Lee Holland craft a tender and heartwarming tale that reminds readers—both young and old—of the true essence of Christmas: the joy of giving and the beauty of sharing God’s love. This beautifully illustrated picture book takes us deep into the enchanting Forest of Faith, where Badger invites his animal friends on a special mission. Instead of celebrating Christmas in their usual way, they pack up their finest foods and gifts for a journey to a neighboring part of the forest. Upon arriving, the animals are puzzled when Badger delays their festivities, but their confusion quickly transforms into understanding and joy as they share their abundance with others who have little. Through this act of selflessness, the forest friends learn an unforgettable lesson: Christmas isn’t about what you receive but about the love you give.
This poignant story is brought to life by Lee Holland’s vivid illustrations, which fill every page with warmth and charm. Perfectly complementing the gentle, faith-filled narrative, the artwork invites young readers to immerse themselves in a world of snowy trees and furry friends. Part of the beloved Forest of Faith Books series, this delightful installment is more than just a holiday story—it’s a spiritual journey that points to Jesus as the ultimate gift. With its powerful message of kindness and generosity, A Christmas Journey for Jesus is a must-read for families looking to instill in their children the values of compassion and giving, making it a treasured addition to holiday traditions for years to come.
