The 12th and 13th chapters in this book feature a twelve year old boy, David, who was inspired to connect with the roots of his Christian faith through his inquiries of the events of Israel today compared to its biblical history. He was so charged with interest and fascination in his Sunday School studies with all of the stories regarding Moses leading the Hebrew people to the Promised Land that he was beyond ecstatic when his father, Pastor Jon St. John announced to the family that they were going on a trip to Israel. And while in Jerusalem, he had an encounter with an Angel. When they returned home after the trip, and attended a formal dinner with the fellowship pastors and their family, Pastor St. John called his son David up before everyone to tell about his experience in Israel. During his talk, he presented a challenge to all of the pastors there. "Every time we open our Bible to study, to teach, to preach, every time we open our Bible should be a reminder to pray for peace in Israel."

It was the twelfth day before Christmas. And after St. Nick's Executive Administrators (Jeff, Dimitrius, and Su) shared with him two disturbing "e;Dear Santa"e; letters from New York City - Gabby and Gabe, twelve-year old twins - it broke his heart. So, St. Nick made the critical decision to take time out of his busy schedule and fly to the Big Apple. With Mrs. Nick by his side, they take a jet plane from the North Pole instead of the reindeer driven sleigh to find out what is troubling the kids.

Major Stone was a man of few words who made good money, want for nothing, and kept to himself. But life has a way of drawing an introvert out of his shell through his needs, desires, and longings: the need to have friends and be friendly, a desire to socialize and be social, and a longing to love and be loved. Yet, of the entire world's grandeur, and in the entire Heavenly splendor were to him an ambiguous illusion until he fell in love. And now the pursuit of happiness revolves around everything and all things to have and to hold his beloved. For that reason he evolved to be loquacious: when there's illness, a doctor he'd call, when there's a crime, a lawyer he'd implore, when there's guilt, a priest he'd pray. But when his soul mate faced death, the only hope is A Talk with God.
