    About this ebook

    Star of North is a whimsical and heartfelt story about a small boy and his increasing understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. On the nights before Christmas, the boy takes dreamlike flights in Santa Claus’s sleigh to the North Star and through to the past. During these journeys, the boy watches in amazement as he sees angels come down from heaven to give life-changing messages to faithful servants of God. But are these scenes real? The boy’s curiosity grows into faith as Christmas comes nearer and his life is forever changed. Star of North is a powerful message about hope and the gift of light that is available to everyone who believes.
