Product Description
Because Joshua the Lamb was different, he often felt left out-like on the wintry night when he was left behind in a Bethlehem stable. This touching tale helps kids see that even if they're different, God has a unique plan for their lives.

 Great book -- lousy video ( brownsbacker99 )
This is a beautiful and sweet story. One lamb has a problem and has to learn that God has a plan for all of us.
But the included DVD is a bummer -- way too far from the original story. It introduces a scary mountain lion, and there is a PIG in this Israeli stable... and it's too dark and suspenseful. The book is sweet and light. Stick with the book.

 A Person with a Disability Speaks Out ( literary_illusions )
This book is AWFUL! First, the title is offensive. I'm in a wheelchair and I hate the term "crippled". It's demeaning and insensitive. I thought Max Lucado was supposed to be a compassionate Christian? By naming the book this title, it not only teaches a new generation another "hateful" term it promotes treating people different because of their abilities or lack thereof.
Furthermore, I found this to have the message of "pity the disabled" not treat them as normal and productive parts of society, which many of us are. If you truly want to educate your children about differences DON'T buy this book. It's "well meaning" but inaccurate books like this one that further alienate those of us with disabilities and perpetuate ignorance and misunderstanding.

This book appeals to the kid in all of us; an instant classic to read to the little ones at Christmas time
I'm a big Max Lucado fan, but consider myself more of a mature, masculine, discerning male when it comes to biblical fiction and non-fiction.
I bought this book as a Christmas gift years ago and took the time to read it. And yes, there were tear-drops. I've got a hard religious shell sometimes, but Max is one of the few authors today I allow into my devotion time. Believe me, the story of this book will stick with you for the rest of your life. It's a Christmas story unlike any you've ever heard.
A crippled lamb, who, because of his condition, gets to witness the Savior as he enters into this world. Not only is this a story of the nativity, there's a deep undertone about the kind of people God chooses to help and bless.... and who are to be his witnesses. It reveals God's love for all of us, shown especially by the fact that he sent His only begotten Son into this world to save us.
A really, really awesome children's Christmas story that anyone will love.
