The Christmas Tree

Strength Will Not Save, but Love Just Might!

"I am that star that appeared to you in the heavens, and I am come to bless thee. I established thee in Eden, thou died'st with me at Calvary, and thou art chosen to celebrate the day of my birth. Thou wilt ever stand with me by the River of Life, and thou shalt bear twelve crops of fruit, and thou shalt heal the nations."

So speaks a man of radiance on the Eve of Christmas, his sole audience a beloved tree who has been torn from his forest home. This message gives the tree hope when he is later cast out to the street after Christmas.

Also helping the tree is a little boy who sees into his heart, along with a cheeky sparrow who transforms into an angel, and squadrons of otherworldly beings.

Full of wondrous imagery and Christmas magic, this timeless classic will transport you (and your children) to Heaven and back again.

"Lyrical, spiritually enchanting."
