"This is a great story," said Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association. "It addresses the reality of what the next generation faces in our nation, and it reflects precisely the kind of issues AFA has tackled for more than 30 years."
What a great story of the fight to keep Jesus in Christmas! Looking at this event through the eyes of children made the tenderness of God's love for us come through. It tells a great story of how a town wanted to share the love of the cross with everyone. I found The Cross and the Water Tower to be a moving and encouraging book to be enjoyed by all ages. Count me as an honorary member of the Water Tower Club!

“The story is a reminder that a personal testimony of our faith is far more meaningful than a public one. No one can dislodge that personal faith from our hearts.”
-Rev. Daniel Bell
Pastor Emeritus
Atonement Lutheran Church

This is a beautiful children’s story done by young people and very well illustrated.
Any Catholic family should be happy to have this among their children’s book. I enthusiastically endorse The Cross and The Water Tower.

Author
The Cross and the Water Tower: A Christmas Story is a marvelous tale--ideal, as are all great children's books, both for children and for those adults who have retained a bit of their childhood sense of wonder. The book is superbly illustrated and makes an exceedingly important theological point. Just the Christmas gift for you and for your friends--not least for members of the A.C.L.U. (it will doubtless be the only gift lying under their bare, undecorated trees).
