Stories of the Child Jesus from Many Lands

by A. Fowler Lutz

Every Christian culture has given us touching legends and charming stories of the wondrous deeds of the Child Jesus. Many of these tales reveal to children the generous ways He helps them when they're unhappy or afflicted. More than a century ago, A. Fowler Lutz collected the best of these legends. Although they spring from lands as various as France, Norway, and Greece, Germany, Syria, and China, these stories have many excellent things in common. Each has the simplicity of goodness, and each is rich with the faith of ordinary people who aren t surprised by miracles. In these stories, they even seem to expect miracles! The young heroes of these tales have a faith simpler than ours, and stronger. They know that Jesus is close to us, no matter how far away He may seem. They trust that He's walking with us every step of our way, no matter how steep and rocky our path may be. That's the faith you'll find in these Stories of the Child Jesus , an innocent faith you can instill in your own little ones by reading them these charming sweet tales out loud.

The kids absolutely loved the stories. They were not watered down or cheesy but true authentic stories of children’s encounters with Christ.

I read this to my 12 year old son during Advent. He enjoyed the stories being read to him, but I doubt seriously that he would have enjoyed reading them to himself.

The book is as the title suggests: it is stories of Jesus, or mostly, people who encounter Christ in their hearts, and each story is from a different country.

They are interesting and all have good messages, but this is not great, compelling literature. It is simply fairly good stories.

I really loved this book it is a bunch of different stores from different places about God. My favorite story in this book was about a little girl who is very selfish but then she meets a poor little boy and she becomes grateful for what she has.
