Francine Rivers (Author)
Product description
This tells the unforgettable story of little Timmy, a foster with a very special and mysterious shoe box. Designed for gift-giving, this heartwarming book features new illustrations, updated content―including Francine Rivers’ favorite holiday recipes and Christmas traditions―and the complete Christmas story from the New Living Translation.
Author Francine Rivers once created her own "God Box" for talking with God. Whenever something was bothering Rivers she would write a prayer about it and slip it in her decorated cardboard box. It was this personal God Box that gave her the idea for writing this compelling Christmas story about a foster child named Timmy whose only valued possession is a shoebox. His foster parents, a young Christian couple, are of course curious about this 6-year-old's mysterious box. What could be inside? But knowing that his privacy is one of the few things Timmy has left, they decide not to pry. Rivers uses the backdrop of Timmy's foster family, church community, and the dedication of his birth mother to illustrate what Christian faith can do. The Christmas pageant finale is a true heart warmer for all believers.
