by Tim Allyn (Author)
Tim Allyn's first book is an illustrated poem about Christmas Day. Part of the joy that parents have at Christmas is seeing their children's excitement when opening all the wrapped toys and gifts. The first Christmas wasn't too different! God had a special gift that He was giving to the world. It was the only gift that could save us from our sadness, sin, and pain. It was the only gift that could bring peace and joy to those who suffer. God delighted to make Christmas Day so spectacular because He was giving one gift that would save the world. Tim was born in the USA and moved to Scotland to marry his wife, Bev. He works as a psychotherapist for Dundee Counselling and is the Events Manager for Solas Centre for Public Christianity. The idea to write Christian books for children came from having three sons of his own and wanting the next generation to have access to more stories about Jesus. It's difficult for parents today (especially in a Covid / post-Covid world) to compete with YouTube, videogames, social media, etc. but we must try! Books are a great way for parents to connect with their kids and at the same time give their children an appreciation of the most important truth they could ever know.
