That dedication.

Who among us hasn't given gifts like these-- whether tangible or not?

And who among us hasn't yet hadn't he opportunity to be the enemy in the story? And were we? Exceptionally well done.

Don't read the summary. It gives too much away. Just go on the journey.

Also, I LOVE the blurb about the author at the end. Admirable. :)

There’s a saying I’m sure you’re familiar with, “Good things come in small packages.”

It’s a perfect description for this book.

The story is short, written as a poem, with pictures of each item this man sent to his enemy.

For the twelve days of Christmas he sent what seemed to be junk.

What his enemy did with the junk is something we wish we would have done.

Once I finished this book, I wanted to be kinder. To turn the other cheek. To let go of petty anger and grudges. To be better.

It only took me a few minutes to read A Rare Nativity.

The message stayed with me much longer.
