Fulton Sheen's classic retelling of the Christmas story

Back in print: the late Fulton Sheen's classic retelling of the Christmas story, charmingly illustrated in color
The True Meaning of Christmas
by Fulton J. Sheen

Here is the kind of books Christian families need at Christmas -- and can rarely find anymore. In The True Meaning of Christmas, a wonderful read-aloud for the whole family, the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen retells the Christmas story while offering food for thought for the older members of the family -- thoughts that can be easily explained to the younger members with the aid of illustrations. And these aren't the cartoonish illustrations we see in so many children's books these days. These are illustrations which elevate and inspire while capturing a child's imagination.

The True Meaning of Christmas
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
