What is When Santa Learned the Gospel about?

When an elf discovers the message of the Gospel, he shares it with Santa. Santa begins to question his familiar idea that good children deserve presents while naughty children do not. As he learns about Jesus, grace and forgiveness, Santa discovers that God’s greatest gift cannot be earned by good behaviour. Told in lively rhyme and filled with Christmas magic, this thoughtful fable follows Santa’s surprising journey from the North Pole to a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Christmas.
