Planting a Seed of Faith in the hearts of our children –
What greater gift could we possibly give?
It is Christmas Eve, and the small foothill Village of Shiloh was suffering from a severe drought. Aside from not having water for their crops, the people had no Christmas trees.
A father retells the story to his young daughter that took place forty years ago. A story that no one in the Village of Shiloh will ever forget.
So begins author Dan Petronelli’s eloquent parable of faith, chronicling the spiritual journey of a group of young boys.
The boys hatched a plan to secretly climb over the mountain in search of a beautiful, living Christmas tree, a symbol of hope,to bring back home to their Village.
They did not know that a perilous blizzard was on its way.
This award-winning book weaves a timeless tale of the joy and the blessings of faith.

– A precious memorable gift.
– Assures children that God is always by their side.
– The importance of loving your neighbor.
– The beautiful power of just one tiny seed.
