Book Description
This is a book for kids (and their parents) who are heartbroken about Santa Claus. "You might think there is no more magic in the world. But the truth is much more interesting." You see, Saint Nicholas didn't HAVE magic-- he was an opening for magic. But he was never supposed to be the only one.The story got twisted, you see. Real magic was never about presents or a man in a red suit-- real magic is wilder and deeper than that. You might call it love, or kindness, or human goodness. The question is, will you become part of true magic? Will you bring more kindness and courage into the world? Will you join the Secret Society of Saint Nicholas?

Book Description
Former secretary of education and New York Times bestselling author William Bennett blends his historical expertise with his gift for storytelling into a heartwarming book about the man who ultimately became known as Santa Claus. Beloved writer and speaker William Bennett brings the legendary Saint Nicholas to life in this fascinating and faith-affirming book that will change the way you think about Santa Claus and the meaning of Christmas. Bennett reflects on Saint Nicholas’s storied life, which has spanned seventeen centuries across Europe, Asia, and Africa, and reveals an inspiring tale of devotion to God and an example of eternal goodness. The True Saint Nicholas: Why He Matters to Christmas focuses on three aspects of Saint Nicholas—historical facts from his life, his legacy in the centuries following his death, and the legendary status that transformed his likeness into the present-day jolly, toy-bearing Santa Claus. The book vividly captures the heart and life of someone who lived long ago—and yet whose life remains an inspiration for everyone to aspire to a higher order of generosity, giving, and devotion to others. An instant classic by one of America’s most respected thinkers, The True Saint Nicholas is a memorable keepsake to be shared with family and friends every year to evoke the true spirit of Christmas.
