Editorial Reviews

The Christmas Promise is a delightful retelling of the very good news that our Rescuer and Forever King has come as promised. It's a wonderful way to share the Christmas story with the children in your life!

Quina Aragon (Author

I was so excited to read a retelling of the Christmas story that is engaging for young children and faithful to the Bible without bizarre additions. This beautifully illustrated and detailed book takes even the youngest children to the heart of the true Christmas story.

Catalina Echeverri's original and colourful illustrations add warmth and vigour to a retelling of the greatest of stories. With a big emphasis on who that baby was and what he came to do, this book puts the manger into the context of the whole Bible story. In so doing it avoids the twee and merely sentimental without any loss of charm. A great gift for a young child at Christmas. (Author and conference speaker)

Hooray for a retelling of the Christmas story for children that is both biblically faithful and tremendously engaging! “The Christmas Promise” combines a clear and imaginative storytelling style with wonderfully rich and vivid illustrations. It lends itself to reading and re-reading. The wonder of the Christmas story flies off its pages!

Susie Bentley-Taylor (co-author of Bake through the Bible)

The Christmas Promise is an engaging blend of the Christmas accounts from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. It helpfully reinforces a clear picture of Jesus as the rescuing King. Captivating illustrations give children lots to observe and convey the emotional elements of the story. The book could be used by parents or teachers as a springboard to discussions about why Jesus came into our world, and the Scripture references provided at the end are useful. I look forward to seeing more books from this author/illustrator team.

What a fantastic fun and fresh retelling of the Christmas narrative! The fulfilment of God’s promises for a new King, a rescuing King, and a forever King are brilliantly presented, through beautiful illustrations, simple and repetitive yet faithful text, and the catchy ‘whoosh' of the angel. Children and parents will love this book!
