"Look behind the legends and tales of Santa Claus to learn the true story of a steadfast, godly man who refused to deny Christ and then suffered for His sake. When Nicholas was a young boy, both of his parents died and he used his inheritance to help others. As a grown man, he became a leader in the church. He was later imprisoned under the Roman emperor Diocletian, who imprisoned church leaders in an effort to stop the spread of the gospel. Nicholas had to stand for truth, but that too, came with a price. However, it did not deter him from generously giving to those in need until his death"--Publisher's description.
