Nicholas: God’s Courageous Gift-Giver
Look behind the legends and tales of Santa Claus to learn the true story of a steadfast, godly man who refused t deny Christ and then suffered for His sake. When Nicholas was a young boy, both of his parents died and he used his inheritance to help others. As a grown man, he became a leader in the church. He was later imprisoned under the Roman emperor Diocletian, who imprisoned church leaders in an effort to stop the spread of the gospel. After Nicholas was released, he faced a new challenge: A wrong teaching had infiltrated the church. Nicholas had to stand for truth, but that, too, came with a price. However, it did not deter him from generously giving to those in need until his death. God’s Courageous Gift-Giver will inspire children to give gifts to others.

Stephen: God’s Courageous Witness
He defended the faith and became Christianity’s first martyr. Stephen lived a life full of faith, performing miracles, boldly telling others about Jesus and even serving with others to help widows in their time of need. Then, his courageous witness was silenced. However, the gospel could not be stopped, as his martyrdom caused the gospel to be pushed outside the city walls of Jerusalem and into the surrounding region. Written to inspire children to witness boldly for Jesus Christ, God’s Courageous Witness is a reminder of the Holy Spirit’s power when we face opposition for the Lord’s sake.

Thomas: God’s Courageous Missionary
Jesus’ disciple Thomas rightly earned the title “Doubting Thomas” by refusing to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. He told the disciples, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, I will not believe.” Soon after, Jesus appeared to Thomas, shattering his unbelief. Thomas became so convinced of the resurrection of Jesus Christ that he took the gospel to India, where he is believed to have died as a martyr at the hands of Hindu priests. Children will be inspired by his courage to take the gospel to a strange land where his legacy of faith lives on today.
