Now, make room for Finding Jesus, a heartwarming twist on that holiday tradition, invented by a mom who wanted to bring the Christmas story to life for all children. Instead of searching for an elf, kids will follow this special doll each day leading up to Christmas, discovering the story of Jesus through Bible verses and engaging daily devotionals.Creator Lillian Richey says the entire project was inspired by God from start to finish.
