The shepherd family of seven includes a mom, dad and five children ranging from tots to teens, all of whom experience and react to the events of the very first Christmas as individuals and as a family. This book is a beautiful addition for your family’s holiday collection that will be enjoyed for generations to come.The Very First Christmas Stocking and the Gifts of The Seven Coins is the first Christmas story ever written placing an entire shepherd family squarely into prominent roles in the telling of the nativity.

The beautiful illustrations and imaginative descriptions take the reader on a spectacular Christmas journey. In the end, all family members are given their own coins to keep with them throughout the year to guide and remind them of what matters most-friendship and family. Both families and the angels form a bond of friendship and love that exemplifies the Christmas spirit. It was the very first Christmas stocking given as a gift to the baby Jesus. Each family member proceeds to give a coin to Mary, who then places them in the stocking with care. When they finally reach Bethlehem, the family meets Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus. The gifts of truth, forgiveness and love are just some of the labels on the seven coins. Each of the seven coins has a different gift written on it representing what is within each person’s heart. As they begin their journey, following the Bethlehem star, they discover that the coins are no longer blank. Gabe and Gabriella give each member of the family a blank coin that is to be given as a gift to the newborn child. Upon arrival, the angels meet a shepherd’s family and tell them the good news of a child to be born in the town of Bethlehem. Two young angels, Gabriel and Gabriella, haphazardly fly down from the heavens on a shooting star, crashing in a meadow.
