In this delightful book the author gives us a new perspective on the Christmas story. He offers fresh and new insights into the significant role that Jesus' grandparents played in that first Christmas event.
Jesus was indeed three years old when his grandparents saw him for the first time.
Ruben, now a grandfather himself, relives with his own grandchildren his journey to Bethlehem and Egypt. He tells how the white star on his forehead guided them safely.
"Look Ruben!" said Rufus in amazement. Joseph was holding the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.
Ruben is indeed the donkey beside the manger.

Author Bio: Ernie LaPalme, one of seventeen children, was born on a farm in Hammond, Ontario, a small community some 40 kilometres east of Ottawa. He retired from teaching in 1991 and now lives in Brantford, Ontario, with his wife, Shirley. Among his many accomplishments, he founded the Canadian Open Country Singing Contest, held annually in Simcoe, Ontario, since 1975. He enjoys playing his fiddle and musical spoons for the elders and the sick. If you cannot find him at his computer working on his Ruben series, you will probably find him in his hobby shop working on the completion of his third violin. He plans to make at least seven violins, one for each of his grandchildren. |
