New Xulon Book: A Twist to the Real Meaning Behind Christmas

MAITLAND, Fla., Aug. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Kat Christian's new book, The Magic Flower ($10.99, paperback, 9781626979437; $5.99, e-book, 9781626979444) takes a clever approach to expressing the true meaning of Christmas. The main character receives an odd and unexpected gift, which ultimately communicates the message: God wants all to have a friendship with Him. The author's mission is to leave the reader curious to learn more about God, about Jesus and about what it's like to be God's friend.

"Christmas is not just about trees, lights, Santa, or shiny new toys," states the author. "Young readers (and their parents) need to understand that Christmas is about God's gift to us in the form of the baby Jesus. Although this story does not feature the Christmas story per se, it is my hope that readers will understand the true meaning of Christmas and want to learn more about 'God's forever gift.'"

In addition to being a real live step-grandmother, like Grandma Susan in the story, Kat Christian has been an elementary school teacher, a tutor, a Sunday school teacher and director, and a vacation Bible school teacher. The author has also written stories, workbooks and poems for students and family members.
