5.0 out of 5 stars A new way to look at the birth of Jesus!, October 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Candymaker's Gift: The Legend of the Candy Cane (Hardcover)

All of us are looking for new traditions we can start at holiday time. Helen Haidle has given us a look at the candy cane that can bring the full meaning of Christmas into our homes every Christmas. It is the story of the candymaker who wanted to be able to give to his customers a candy that would represent the birth of Jesus. Between the candymaker and his granddaughter, we now have a sweet treat to help us remember. I will read this book every year to both my children and grandchildren.

The Candymaker's Gift put spiritual truths into a charming story of the origin of the candy cane. It focuses on the importance of Jesus, the one whose birth we celebrate at Christmas. The scripture that is presented is challenging and possibly life-changing.

The book is in EXCELLENT condition. Can't believe it was used before! I bought it as a gift for my sister and she loves it. There were no stickers, no writing, no scuff marks, NOTHING!The dust jacket had a little wear and tear, but you can take that off and the original cover is still perfect.
