"Operation Christmas Child" by Franklin Graham



{Merry CHRISTmas everyone! Every Monday, Wednesday & Friday in honor of our Savior’s birth there’ll be a new Christmas book review! With a couple giveaways sprinkled in, it’s going to be so much fun! Let’s start!}
About this book:

  “It was a simple idea that became the worldwide ministry of Operation Christmas Child—to minister to children in war-torn and famine-stricken countries.  In just two decades it has inspired everyday people to provide more than 100 million gift-filled shoeboxes to needy children in 130 countries. This beautiful book weaves the moving, God-saturated story of the ministry’s beginning with the soul-stirring, Christ exalting stories of lives that have been forever changed by a simple shoebox.
Operation Christmas Child is filled with full-color photos of children whose smiles help tell what is a thoroughly hopeful story. Samaritan's Purse President Franklin Graham provides insight as the incredible stories of life transformation are told.”


Series: No, it’s a Non-Fiction.


Spiritual Content- In Dedication Ephesians 6:6-8 is written out;  84 (read that eighty-four!)

Goose-bumps! This book gave me goose-bumps! I’ve done a box or two for O.C.C. every year for as long as I can remember. Reading how this wonderful organization got started and all the God-things was so amazing!
