This is an imaginative new Christmas story that the entire family will love. As the story begins, God is trying to figure out how to send a bit of heaven to Earth by convincing one of his two child spirits to leave heaven and make a new home on a dusty and out-of-the-way corner of a chaotic planet. The spirits visit a shepherd boy grieving over an injured lamb and a distraught Queen, before deciding to exit Earth for good. Then, "it" happens, and Love comes down at Christmas. This is a meaningful and powerful story that your family will enjoy for the years to come.

This is an imaginative new Christmas story that the entire family will love. The story begins with God in His heaven and not much right with a world where people are enslaved by pirates, politicians, and plagues. God figures out the only way to bridge this gap is by doing something radical. And so, two child spirits go with God to visit Earth. There's Wiznik -- who knows almost as much as God and there's Sunny -- who raises empathy to an art form. Their whirlwind visit to a shepherd boy and a despondent Queen raise more questions and arguments than answers. The child spirits are about to hightail it out of Palestine when an accident generates a solution making it possible for Love to come down at Christmas. This story will grow and change with your family as new layers of meaning reveal themselves through the lens of your life experiences. If you'd like to begin a new Christmas tradition, you might start here.
