Jesus + Santa = Christmas!: Faith-Centered Learning Born in Friendship

Two different sides of Christmas meet Person-to-Person as Santa and Jesus talk back and forth to discover they both love children, give presents, and utilize teams of helpers. This book weaves faith and tradition in a fun, colorful heart-to-heart talk over hot chocolate with cameo appearances of Rudolph. It's fun for all ages and stages of life. Rev. Heidi Erion Revelo grew up in Nebraska, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in communications from University of Nebraska at Kearney and went on to earn a Master's of Divinity from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Illinois. She was ordained in the American Baptist Churches and served United Methodist churches for six years. Her first book, "Chop! Chop! Chaplain" describes ministry in a beef processing plant where she worked as a chaplain for 8 years. The mix of cultures, religions, and people swirl into unconventional and unexpected stories of real people. She authored "Red Sky" a sci-fi Christian novel about the hot-button topic of abortion. A team of stem cell researchers, blood falling from the sky, the corporate bottom line, strides in medicine, Lincoln and Cici's forever love, politics, and heart-rending decisions leave the reader's heart grappling. Then add a few facts scattered like sprinkles over a cupcake, but not as appetizing, and it's a one-of-a-kind story. She and husband of 29 years have two adult daughters: a baker and a teacher. Don't forget their three rescue fur babies: Aussie/Corgi dog Thomas, calico cat Emmy and tiger cat Maximus.
