Dec 17: All Is Bright / Why the Chimes Rang

“All is Bright: The True Story of Silent Night” (MP3 audio) – In this great audio program originally broadcast on the CBS Radio Workshop, we start on a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, where the orchestra is playing for a Christmas eve dance. But when they start playing an uptempo rendition of “Silent Night”, one gentleman in the crowd objects… and proceeds to tell the assembled partygoers the REAL story behind the much beloved hymn, and the fascinating story of how it was almost lost but then re-discovered years after it was first written. Excellent family listening for this holiday season!
Plus:

“Why the Chimes Rang” by Raymond MacDonald Alden (MP3 Audio + PDF ebook) This is the simple, moving story of a little boy who wanted to honor the Lord’s birthday, and how an unexpected diversion caused his to be the greatest gift of all.
Accompanying this delightful book is a great episode of “The Great Gildersleeve” radio program, in which Gildersleeve reads this book to a crowd of children spending their holidays in the hospital. It is a moving reading and a great story that your whole family will love.
Enjoy them both!
