The Lanterns of Bethlehem: A Christmas Story of Light

By Stephanie Joy

What if one little lantern could change an entire town?

When Lily, Max, and Josie discover an old iron lantern hidden in the attic of Grace Community Church, they find more than an unusual Christmas decoration.
Inside is a mysterious note-and a clue.
The three friends follow the lantern's trail through their snowy hometown, uncovering a forgotten Christmas tradition, secret acts of kindness, and a message that has been passed from one generation to the next.
But the final clue is different.
It isn't about the past.
It's about someone who is hurting right now.
As Lily, Max, and Josie learn to look beyond their own busy lives, they discover that being a light doesn't mean being famous, doing something enormous, or having all the answers. Sometimes, it simply means noticing someone who feels forgotten and choosing to care.
The Lanterns of Bethlehem is a heartwarming Christian Christmas mystery about friendship, faith, kindness, courage, and the power of one small act of love.
