Planting a Seed of Faith in the hearts of our children -

What greater gift could we possibly give?

It is Christmas Eve, and the small foothill Village of Shiloh was suffering from a severe drought. Aside from not having water for their crops, the people had no Christmas trees.

A father retells the story to his young daughter that took place forty years ago. A story that no one in the Village of Shiloh will ever forget.

So begins author Dan Petronelli’s eloquent parable of faith, chronicling the spiritual journey of a group of young boys.

The boys hatched a plan to secretly climb over the mountain in search of a beautiful, living Christmas tree, a symbol of hope, to bring back home to their Village.

They did not know that a perilous blizzard was on its way.

This truly is a timeless tale of faith. A story that a family could share in a few nights every year before Christmas. A perfect holiday gift.

I am not ashamed to say that my eyes teared up a time or two while reading this Christmas tale. I can only imagine how worried I would have been as a parent of one of those boys.

I highly recommend this story. It is a page turner that will keep your child’s interest. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it as a movie someday - it’s that good!

This powerful stirring, wind-swept tale, will make your heart break and soar in equal measures and will become a treasured memory your family shares every Christmas season.
