Experience the spirit of Christmas past and present, flying with the soul of Saint Nicholas as he journeys through time and space, history, legend, and culture, from the Holy Land, across Europe and Asia, to America and beyond. In his wake, we encounter the world's most inspirational music and literature, from Martin Luther and J.S. Bach to Tchaikovsky, Charles Dickens to Clement Clarke Moore and Charles M. Schulz. The original stocking stuffer forever provides a children's story for adults, especially young parents, and even grandparents, that is by turns witty and profound yet always touching, ever joyous, and eternally grounded in the spirit of giving in secret, as decreed by Jesus of Nazareth in his Sermon on the Mount. Cover illustration by Stela Casian. Praise for THE SOUL OF SAINT NICHOLAS: "Wow An artful intertwining of Christian saints, theologians, music, literature and even mathematics for our Christmas traditions told in a casual, lighthearted voice which sails the reader through this insightful, fact-filled book. This book definitely works for adults, and parents can glean many snippets of stories and information to infuse in their Christmas ventures with their children." - Goodreads
