A superbly crafted giftbook meant to be treasured

Once Upon A Christmas: Stories By James Dillet Freeman is an enchanting anthology of stories for the Christmas season. "Angel With a Broken Wing" is about a young boy's encounter with Mort, the angel of death - and the power of love to save one from the inevitable. Other stories include "The King of Heaven Is Coming Tonight" and "The Woman Who Learned To Love Christmas." Printed in profound bold type, and illustrated with humble yet beautiful color artwork, Once Upon A Christmas is a superbly crafted giftbook meant to be treasured and read aloud for the holidays year after year.

Fables from the Spirit

These ten stories are the only fiction ever written by poet, essayist, and philosopher James Dillet Freeman. They are filled with the love, compassion, and gentle humor that characterizes all of his writing, and range from the story of the foolish woodland denizens who know that "The King is Coming," but don't recognize Him when they see Him to the story of Rosa, who doesn't realize that the only gift she has to give is the greatest of any given, as told by St. Francis of Assisi. There is the Christmas story told as if it happened today, a story of love, and yet one which offended some readers. The stories are accompanied by beautiful pictures, bound in a very attractive book that one would proudly display on the coffee table during the Christmas season. This book would make a beautiful gift to yourself which will give new insight into the Truth told us in the Christmas story.
