Wonderful book

I bought this for my 9 year old grand niece, who read it and told me "Thank you so much for this book. I read it in like 10 minutes, and it is now one of my FAVORITES!"

Only for those whom believe in a God of infinite love, whom does not judge.

This book is not for those whom believe in a small God, one whom believes that only one religion is to be acknowledged, while all the others will be judged and condemned. This book is for those whom believe God is everything, goes by many different names, and loves unconditionally, because he is love. This book is for those whom believe God would never judge creation or their beliefs. It is for those whom know that God requires nothing and therefore NEEDS NOTHING from us. This book is for those whom know God has nothing to forgive or condemn because everything is perfect in the infinite plan for creation already. It is for those whom know God is perfect, and we are created in the image of Godself. This book is for those whom desire with their whole heart to give their children a God whom understands creation perfectly with complete wisdom, whom is fun and full of joy, and whom knows that no matter what, we are a perfect part of the plan of light and love. This book is for parents whom know in the depth of their being that God is wise enough and whole enough to be able to accept all of us just the way we are. It is for parents whom also desire to teach their children this concept of God's acceptance. If you are this kind of parent then you will love this book. If not stick to your doctrine, you'll be happier. God doesn't require your beliefs however, but he accepts them as perfect just the same. Thank you Neale Donald Walsch for being brave enough to write a book that gives our children a God of unbelievable kindness and love. One whom only desires us to remember love is all there really is and all we ever need to be.

Will be appreciated by parents, teachers, and children everywhere

"Santa's God: A Children's Fable about the Biggest Question Ever" is a tender and touching story that explains the biggest question of all to the full satisfaction of seven-year-old Melinda," the girl who got to interview Santa and ask him any question she desired on Christmas eve. Sure to appeal to both children and parents from many diverse backgrounds, "Santa's God" helps young minds access the idea that there are different guises for greatness and holiness. Just as important to believe that all children are deserving and good at heart is the notion that all names and concepts of God are valid, and worthy of respect and worship. "Santa's God" tackles a huge question and answers it simply and tastefully, in a way a seven year old child can understand. The delicately tinted paintings illustrating all the different Pipka Santa figurines are especially moving and effective in conveying the story's message and impact. "Santa's God" will be appreciated by parents, teachers, and children everywhere.

Santa's God a Beautiful Expression of Love and Spirit

As always, Neale Donald Walsch weaves a portrait of God as loving and a part of all that is in the World, a part of Us. I am so happy to have a book like this with inspirational illustrations to share with my children during this holiday season. It speaks to the message of our oneness as human beings and the connection we share. It is our inner guidance that leads us to know God and this book captures this general belief in a unique way incorporating the magic of Santa.

Santa, Who is the Real God?

"Santa certainly had some good answers, and Melinda was almost out of questions. But then she remembered the most important question of all. It was a question she'd always wanted answered. `Santa', she began... `Who is the real God?' Santa almost dropped his cookie!" - From Santa's God What happens when a little girl named Melinda asks Santa the biggest question ever on Christmas Eve? In simple yet profound story titled Santa's God, author Neale Donald Walsch tells an endearing story paralleling the various manifestations of Santa (St. Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, Pere Noel, etc.) with the many faces of God (Jesus, Krishna, Alla, Jehovah, and so on). Delightfully illustrated by Walsch's wife, Em Claire, and artist Beth Stark (pencil work), Santa's God explains how the different garbs and names of Santa (drawings based on original Pipka Santa figurines) are a lot like how we envision God according to our cultural and religious heritage. For parents longing for an "All is One" book to share with children, or even for individuals who believe that "all roads lead to heaven" but have had a difficult time putting it into words, Santa's God is a gentle, loving, inspirational reminder that no matter what we may call the Divine--God, Spirit, Goddess, the Infinite, the Universe--the same Ground of Being cradles us all. Highly recommended! -- Janet Boyer, author of Back in Time Tarot
