Whew, been a busy weekend with Bayou Writers Conference, a wonderful event but I'm glad it's behind us.
Today's guest, David Biebel is new to the blog. I've known him for sometime through TWJ Magazine, but for some odd reason he's never visited us here before.
Anyway, he's here with a brand new book I just know is something to treasure!
Once
upon a time, a lamb and his mommy were selected to participate in a live
Nativity Scene sponsored by a local church in Colorado. The Christmas story is
retold, replete with full-color original artwork, through the very inquisitive lamb’s questions and his mother’s replies.
In Away in a Manger, pertinent gospel passages are
shared by a narrating pastor, with a salvation emphasis at the end. The ewe
explains who the various characters are and what their roles were in Bethlehem
long ago. You will find this mini-novel to be a new and refreshing perspective
on the true meaning of Christmas, designed for Christian parents to read and
discuss with their children during the Christmas season.

What folks are saying about Away in a Manger....
"Not your ordinary Christmas book, but an extraordinary
Christmas story that adults and children will enjoy! The child-like perspective
of Ransom, the inquisitive lamb in a live nativity scene, draws you in, asking
profound questions that a child might ask if he or she had been there in
person, in Bethlehem, long ago. The story naturally flows into a salvation
invitation and prayer. Adults should first read this book and then give it as a
gift with a personal inscription to each and every child they can think of this
Christmas." ~ Monte Swan (author of Romancing Your
Child’s Heart, its Vision & Strategy Manual, and The Secret of
Singing Springs
Sure sounds like a book children of all ages will treasure.

Sounds like a lovely children's book! Good luck with your release.
With 7 grand children, I am always looking for good kiddie lit. This looks like a rich and rewarding read. Best wishes.
I've found children's books to be the most difficult thing to get published. So specials congrats are in order!
The Christmas Story never grows old. I love that you're telling the story from the sheep's perspective. It adds a fresh point of view. I pray it blesses the readers tremendously. Cheers
What a unique idea. Love it! Precious.
Great idea!
