THE NATIVITY COLLECTION:
Six Stories that Share the Smiles, the Heart, and the Hope of Christmas
by Robert J. Morgan
forward by David Jeremiah
Thomas Nelson Publishing
The stories are:
Ollie-A story of how a mix up turned into a wonderful Christmas of sharing.
Poet Boy- Christmas Eve, the Nativity told in a little different way, when a young man forgets his lines in a play.
Over My Dead Body- A famous carver, and how a grandchild opened his eyes to God, and the Nativity Scene he carved that everyone wanted.
Five Quarters of a Mile- A blizzard, a child alone with his grandfather, who has a heart attack, and how the Nativity carved by the grandfather's grandfather saved them.
Nativity Seen Smiling- A pre Christmas wedding, a honeymoon that goes badly, and a young couple whose marriage starts off on the wrong foot, and how a a Nativity Scene helps them back on the right road.
Sugarplum and the Christmas Cradle-A story with a surprise ending, including a real live Nativity.
The first story, Ollie, had me in tears very quickly, and I can bet that most of the others who read it, will shed a tear or two. Poet Boy had tears rolling for a different reason, and you can really imagine that this is a true story.
My first thought, this would make a great gift book and it will, but it is also a book that I will keep, and reread every Christmas. All the stories are special, and touching in many different ways.
I received a free copy of this book from BookSneeze, to read and review. I received no other compensation. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thanks for sharing the summaries here! I'm excited to read this to my family this year. Interesting that The Nativity Collection is available - signed by the author - at Rob Morgan's website.
