The Sweetest Story Ever Told Cookie Kit

Review by Martha Robinson and Mary Leggewie
The Sweetest Story Ever Told Cookie Kit $14.99. Published by Moody Publishers. The book is available without the kit from HomeschoolChristian's Amazon link.
Promising a "new Christmas cookie tradition for family, friends, and neighbors" this kit includes the book, The Sweetest Story Ever Told, by Lysa Terkeurst, a recipe card, ten gift cards, and five cookie cutters. The hardcover book tells the story of Peter, a Christian postman, who shares his tradition of making brightly decorated sugar cookies at Christmas time to help others see God's promise in Christ. The five cookie shapes, an angel, a star, a tree, a heart, and a bell, allow little ones to tell the Christmas story in a simple way. Peter's recipe and the tale of how he helps a family in need of encouragement are included in this picture book suitable for children of many ages.
The other items in the kit make implementation of the Sweetest Story easy. The five plastic cookie butters are about four inches in size. The gift cards, printed on heavy white paper with green ink, tell the story of Christ using the cookie shapes as points in the story. The recipe card printed on the same paper is a 3"x5" size.
Martha's Recommendation: This kit offers families the opportunity to evangelize in a gentle way during the Christmas season. Even the youngest family members will be able to tell the story using the cookie shapes as prompts. This story is sure to touch all family members with its sweet theme. The book The Sweetest Story Ever Told is also available separately. If you already have cookie cutters in the shapes mentioned above, the book is all you will need!
Mary's Recommendation: This is an adorable way for those who are a bit shy of witnessing to spread the Good News to their friends and neighbors. So many of us are used to baking cookies and sharing them with neighbors, but this wonderful idea might just plant the seed to give your neighbors an eternal gift.
