"Let's not let the season pass without a depth of spirituality in our hearts that lets us ponder. Ponder the mystery of how, and why, this Omnipotent God, before Whom angels tremble, would come down and live nine months in the most pure and holy Woman that ever lived, and ever will live. He was confined in a womb with that Infinite Intelligence, Infinite Power, and the Power of the Holy Spirit."

Find out how this silly, ritzy, vain camel learns to share her things so she can squeeze through the gate, becoming even richer than before! Hardcover. 36 pages.
