Curl up by the fire and join Gideon the Brave Bulldog and his curious friends, Dusty and Frenchy, in A Gideon Christmas - The True Gift. As Christmas draws near, Gideon notices the excitement filling his home-decorations, cookies, laughter, and talk of presents. But one question keeps tugging at his heart: What is Christmas really about? Determined to find the answer, Gideon and his friends set off on a gentle quest, asking everyone they meet-from neighborhood pets to backyard animals-hoping someone can explain the meaning behind this special season. Though they hear many ideas, none seem quite complete. It isn't until a quiet Christmas Eve, gathered with the family by the fireplace, that the true story of Christmas is finally shared-the story of Jesus, born in a humble manger, and the greatest gift of all. Perfect for young readers and families, this cozy, faith-filled tale reminds us that Christmas is about love, gratitude, and God's greatest gift to the world.
