Giving a child a gift is a special time. Giving them the gift of love is something we should do all the time. Giving a child a gift of a story about the love of God is something that will touch them at a deeper level. Mary and Joseph's love for their child was also a love for their Saviour. And we can love Jesus only because he first loved us. He loved us enough to come as a child at Christmas time and as our Saviour at any time.

Catherine Mackenzie enjoys explaining the gospel to a child and sees it as a challenge and a joy - something to treasure and to look forward to. Catherine's favourite activity is making flapjacks with her nephews & nieces. She loves to collect books & real life heroes and some of these can be seen in her Little Light's series. Watch out for two additions to this series in September 2008. She has written several trailblazer biographies (including Billy Graham) for young people, the ‘Stories from Canterbury Place’ series dealing with difficult issues those children may have to face. Her Recent Board Series 'Sent to Save'(January 2008) follows on from ‘Born to be King’ which was released in July 2006.
