Christmas Carol Kauffman

Joseph Armstrong’s father showed little concern for his wife and children. Work came first. Praise was a foreign language. All the while, he portrayed himself as flawlessly pious to those outside the family, making his home a potential hotbed for bitterness. But a devout mother bridged the gap – loving, teaching, and praying for her children. Her prayers were heard; Joseph’s heavenly Father helped him rise above his circumstances to a life of purpose. 537 pages; paperback.
