Sinopse

"Twas the Night Before Christmas: A Visit From Saint Nicholas" is a seminal piece of American literature that celebrates the enchantment of Christmas Eve through its whimsical narrative and lyrical style. Written in the form of a poem, Moore's work employs playful rhythms and vivid imagery to transport readers into a magical world where Santa Claus brings joy and wonder to children. Initially published in 1823, this iconic piece not only solidified modern Christmas traditions but also reflected the burgeoning American cultural identity in the 19th century, intertwining folklore with contemporary societal values of family and generosity. Clement Moore, an accomplished scholar and professor at the General Theological Seminary in New York City, penned this beloved poem for his children, embodying his deep affection for family and the Christmas spirit. His background in classical literature and theology informs his ability to weave moral undertones into seemingly simple verses, illustrating a profound understanding of childhood innocence and joy. The poem's enduring appeal can be attributed to Moore's unique blend of humor, warmth, and the transcendence of holiday magic. Highly recommended for readers of all ages, Moore's illustrated edition of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" invites you to cherish the warmth of the season while fostering a sense of nostalgia. Its captivating narrative and delightful illustrations breathe life into a classic tale, making it a perfect addition to holiday traditions and a touching gift for families, ensuring that the spirit of Christmas continues to light up generations.

    With The Prince’s Poison Cup, Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his series of books designed to present deep biblical truths to children on their own level. In this work, he focuses in on the atonement to show that Jesus had to endure the curse of sin in order to redeem His people from their spiritual death.When Ella gets sick and has to take yucky medicine, she wonders why something that will help her get well has to taste so bad. When she puts the question to Grandpa, he tells her the story of a great King and His subjects who enjoyed wonderful times together―until the people rebelled against the King and drank from a forbidden well. To their horror, they found that the beautiful water in the well made their hearts turn to stone. To reclaim His people, the King asks His Son, the Prince, to drink from a well of horrid poison. The poison will surely kill the Prince―but He is willing to drink it to please His Father and help His people.Richly illustrated, The Prince’s Poison Cup will help children appreciate the great love of God for His people and the awful price Jesus had to pay because of sin. A “For Parents” section provides assistance in unfolding the biblical elements of the story.
