Beyond the Tinsel

“Dan Schomer helps the ancient narrative of the birth of the Christ child come alive in wonderful and creative ways. He has a gift for telling a story that keeps the reader engaged and wanting more. His writings can be used in a variety of ways to open our minds to consider what God’s message is for each of us. This book is a wonderful tool for pastors, Christian educators, and families.”


—James R. Mohr II, College Chaplain and Director of Church Relations, Westminster College





“Dan Schomer has written a wonderful book of stories and more. Each one's an example to all pastors on how to craft and tell a story in a way that captivates, illuminates, and inspires. What’s amazing is that he wrote a new one each year for Christmas Eve. I wish I had known about these stories years ago. It would have made my Christmas Eves and the rest of the year much more inspiring and memorable.”
