Product Description
by Douglas A. Schrock (Author)
War brings out the worst of humanity...but it also brings out the best. Toward the end of 1914, the men of the great armies of Europe laid down their arms in favor of Bibles and ball games and chocolate cakes. For the next four years they would continue killing one another in the name of king and country, but for one beautiful night and day that December all that mattered was their love for Christmas, and their love for one another. Here are two fictional stories that meld into one, representative of countless many from that glorious Christmas Truce...that of a young German Lutheran, and that of a young English atheist, both of whom find themselves at war not only in the trenches of Belgium but in their souls. What they experience during Yuletide of 1914 will change not only them, but all those in their lives. Forever.
