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

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Candymaker's Gift provided very worthwhile reading., December 13, 1998

By	lyncliff@juno.com (Erie, PA) - See all my reviews

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.
