About this ebook
Elf on a Shelf brings impish acts and often the expectation of daily presents. This story suggests a way to promote good behavior toward and giving to those around us.
Based on a personal experience and Acts 20:35: “In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” (Acts 20:35)
