God Gave Us Christmas by Lisa Tawn Bergren


In God Gave Us Christmas, as Little Cub and her family prepare to celebrate the most special day of the year, the curious young polar bear has something on her mind: “Who invented Christmas?” she asks. “Is God more important than Santa?”
Her questions reflect the confusion of so many children during the holiday season. And this heartwarming story takes them on a wonderful journey of discovery—right to the heart of Christmas.
Through Mama’s gentle guidance, Little Cub learns that God loves her and everyone— polar bear, moose, or human—so much that he gave us Jesus, the very best gift of all.

Lisa Tawn Bergren is the award-winning author of nearly thirty titles, totaling more than 1.5 million books in print. She writes in a broad range of genres, from adult fiction to devotional. God Gave Us Love follows in Lisa’s classic tradition of the best-selling God Gave Us You. She lives in Colorado, with her husband, Tim, and their children, Olivia, Emma, and Jack.

Back Cover Review:
God Gave Us Christmas is a wonderful find in the world of Christmas books. There are very few Christian books that I have found that talk so clearly and directly about Christmas being all about Jesus - and not all about Santa Claus. A good amount of this book focuses on how we can see evidence of God when we look at what He has made in nature - and in making us. I think that also makes this book a good foundational  book for talking about Creation. My 3 and 5-year old enjoy this book too!
