Gifts full of surprise often spark many questions... "What is it?". . . "How did you know?". . . "How did you get this for me?" Often the best presents have a wonder-filled story behind the gift. Gallop down the glimmering lane at the Applegate Farm, as brother and sister duo Ralph and Mallory discover a special book containing a historical record of astonishing gifts. You'll have the opportunity to learn the inspiration for the gift ideas as well as have several experiences similar to the Applegates in your own living room through recommended family night Christmas activities. Just like Ralph and Mallory, you'll hear the backstory of a present with your name on it that you'll never be able to forget. "Christmas is the perfect time to discuss the "calculated cost of waiting" that Jesus considered, knowing that people would not fully understand why He was coming by way of a manger... Being in family ministry for over 20 years, I would recommend this as a resource for all families to read yearly. This is more than a book. It is an easy family experience that can keep the excitement of Christmas centered on Jesus and family." -Chad Overton Next Gen Pastor, The MET Church, Houston, TX "If you are like me, you look for creative ways to teach children about God...especially during holidays. Courtney has given us a beautiful offering! Follow the trail of gifts back to the very beginning - to the plan for the best gift of all - JESUS! After the story, find a Christmas family plan ... even a favorite cookie recipe to help celebrate God's BIG LOVE through the birth of Jesus!" -Jean Thomason (Miss PattyCake) "The opportunity to bring family together for meaningful moments is one of the best gifts of the Christmas season. Reading The Trail of Unexpected Gifts is sure to become one of your family's most treasured traditions. You will relate to this lovable family's story of Christmas memories and miracles and be inspired by the reminder that the gift of Jesus is the most precious miracle of all." -Trenton and Jenny Worsham Trenton: Author, Pastor at Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, TX Jenny: Co-founder of Gather Moms, Author of Gather Moms curriculum series
