A Perfect Christmas - Book Illustrations

"For the child who thinks that Santa is a creation of the Disney Corporation, or Hallmark
cards, and for the parent who is tired of battling to keep the holy holiday of Christmas alive,
while competing with the avalanche of materialistic poison that has engulfed the Advent
Season, A Perfect Christmas provides a long overdue, beautifully written and illustrated
antidote."

Frank Schaeffer, author of Portofino and Keeping Faith

"...At the heart of this wonderful contemporary Christmas parable is a tale of compassion,
shared love and family with a little of the real Saint Nicholas' life woven in, just enough to
whet the appetite of the reader for more! The pages of A Perfect Christmas glow with the
warmth of a bygone era when Christmas was filled with the mystery of the Incarnation,
simple shared love and grace."
