Christmas in My Soul, Volume I
Christmas in My Soulis the fifth in editor Joe Wheeler's popular   series of heartwarming Christmas stories (previous volumes are titledChristmas in My Heart). This anthology begins with an introduction   describing the transformation of the real St. Nicholas into the world-famous   character of Santa Claus, emphasizing the spiritual significance of Santa's   generosity. Wheeler's introduction sets the stage for six short, old-fashioned   holiday stories, illustrated with beautiful woodcuts, about the everyday   miracles that can happen on this hallowed Christian holiday. The stories'   settings range from New York City to small towns such as "Hollis Hollow, USA."   The characters in each story are struggling to live well, and they are taught to   succeed by accidents of grace. There is always a moral to these stories, and   each lesson warms even the coldest winter nights.--Paul Power
