About the Book

Picture
Title: Jesus vs. Santa: Christmas Misunderstood
Author: Jason E. Royle
Genre: Christian 
Number of Pages: 85
Synopsis: Who influences our children more, Jesus or Santa? Is shunning Santa the Christian thing to do? Is Jesus alone enough to save us from the lure of Christmas? In this edition of The Misunderstood Series, the author takes a closer look at the predicament Christian parents find themselves in each December, when, Jesus lying in a manger must compete with children lining up to sit on Santa’s lap. With a healthy dose of perspective for parents and self-help advice for people from all walks of life, use this handbook as an interactive way to jumpstart a discussion with your family or church group about the two Stars of Christmas, Jesus and Santa. 

About the Author

Picture
Writing, for Jason, is a way to express the ongoing story of theology. With every book or article, he hopes readers get a sense of the complexity of God and the necessity of faith. Captivated by the spiritual component of life, Jason loves to read everything from the Greek classics to the Sunday comics. While serving as pastor of a congregation near Memphis, TN, Jason wrote a weekly column in a local newspaper called Sermon in a Nutshell and has had devotions published in The Secret Place, among others. 

Jason holds a Master's in New Testament Theology from Johnson University and a Doctorate in Ministry from Sewanee: University of the South School of Theology. Today he lives with his beautiful wife and children in Schaefferstown, PA, where he serves as the pastor of St. Paul's United Church of Christ.

My Review

Jesus vs. Santa: Christmas Misunderstood is a thought provoking compelling read that addresses a question that plaques many parents especially during the holiday season.

As a Christian parent I have struggled with this question many times over the years. I always tried to instill in my children that Jesus is the reason for the season and that it's okay to enjoy the excitement of Santa as long as they always remember the true excitement of Jesus' birth. 

I was anxious to read Jason's book and find out his take on the two biggest stars of Christmas. Since Jason is a pastor, I was expecting a one-sided argument about abolishing Santa altogether, but that assumption couldn't have been further from the truth. Jason writes his book from the heart, speaking from personal experiences with his own children. He remains unbiased as he compares and contrasts Jesus and Santa, inspiring readers to do the same. 

I found the book to be extremely well researched and highly recommend picking up a copy. I am very much looking forward to more books in the Misunderstood series.
