St. Nicholas - The Story of the Real Santa Claus
Mary Joslin

Pauline Books & Media, 2006

Nicholas was a Christian who lived in the town of Myra in the fourth century AD. He was much loved for his charity and generosity. On one occasion, he wanted to give money to three daughters who were facing destitution because their father had no money for a dowry in order that they might marry. Nicholas thought of a clever way to give his gift in secret, showering gold coins into their house at night through the chimney. Some of the coins ...

Fell far short of my expectations
This book retells a French legend to show there is more to Christmas than anything money can buy. It begins with four wise men atop the tallest city tower. There they spot a special star and immediately set off to find the great king who has been born. One wise man brings a small box of gold, "the perfect gift to take to a royal baby." The other wise men seek their gifts along the journey. One ...

The Egerton Genesis (British Library Studies in Medieval Culture)
Mary Coker Joslin, Carolyn Coker Joslin Watson

University of Toronto Press, 2001

M.R. James was prompted to characterize the Egerton Genesis as 'the most puzzling, and also, in view of the wonderful qualities of its drawing and colouring, one of the most fascinating' of all manuscripts he had ever seen. Questions of date, iconographical and stylistic character, artist's training, provenance, purpose, and patronage, largely unanswered since James' time, surround this manuscript. The Egerton Genesis is a pictorial ...

pearls
This is a great book. I found this book at a discount store and I was reluctant to buy it. But once I read through it I felt like I found a "pearl" myself. It teaches choice making and the cost of giving something up to obtain another.

The Story of the Cross: The Stations of the Cross for Childr
As a kindergarten teacher in a Catholic School, I was looking for a book on this level to use with my class when we went to church to follow the Station of the Cross. I was extremely pleased with this one! The story of Jesus is explained in appropriate language for young children and the heartfelt prayers to be said at each station reflect the needs of children in this age group. The ...

Our Father:The Prayer Jesus Taught

Loyola Press, 2000

Not what I had hoped
I bought this book looking for a picture book on the Lord's prayer; the idea being that since my preschoolers sit still for stories but not so much for prayers that having a visual focus for them would be helpful. However, I found the pictures in this book, while aestethically pleasing, were too vague to be related easily to the text. The reflections are also not appropiate for young children ...

Beautiful Easter book.
Here is a picture book for older children that retells the biblical Easter story. It's beautiful pictures have a gentle feel, even when dealing with harsh parts of the story. Starting with Palm Sunday, it goes on to tell of Jesus driving out the money changers, washing the feet of his disciples, sharing the Last Supper with them, and then of his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. We read of the ...

A Favorite Story
