- A Stocking for Jesus by Suzanne Middendorf Arruda & illustrated by Betina
Ogden Reviewed by Lisa M. Hendey Its
never too late to begin a new family tradition, especially one which emphasizes
the true meaning of the Christmas season. With her book A Stocking for Jesus (Pauline
Books and Media, September 2003, paperback) author Suzanne Arruda shares the inspiring
story of one little girl who remembered what Christmas is truly all about. Young
readers and their parents will be inspired by the story of young Elise, who takes
time amidst the holiday decorating to remember Jesus on the occasion of his birthday.
Elise and her family create a new family tradition by giving gifts to Jesus in
the form of acts of love, service and prayer. The family gifts are noted on slips
of paper and placed in Jesus special stocking. Along
with the fun story and bright illustrations, this book comes complete with a ready-made
family activity, enabling your child or family to create and fill your own "Stocking
for Jesus". With its emphasis on the true meaning of giving, A Stocking for Jesus
deserves a place in your familys holiday reading repertoire. For
