If you need to resort to a story made up of whole cloth to support your beliefs, then by all means read this book. It has neither truth nor wisdom to it and can be disproved with the mere click of a mouse in a search engine.
The genuine mystery of Christ is why does an omnipotent mystical being need to resort to lies and fabrications to justify his existence. Keep to the Nativity legend and leave these types of falsehoods alone, they make churches seem sillier than they need to be.
 The Candymaker's Gift provided very worthwhile reading. December 13, 1998

The Candymaker's Gift put spiritual truths into a charming story of the origin of the candy cane. It focuses on the importance of Jesus, the one whose birth we celebrate at Christmas. The scripture that is presented is challenging and possibly life-changing.

All of us are looking for new traditions we can start at holiday time. Helen Haidle has given us a look at the candy cane that can bring the full meaning of Christmas into our homes every Christmas. It is the story of the candymaker who wanted to be able to give to his customers a candy that would represent the birth of Jesus. Between the candymaker and his granddaughter, we now have a sweet treat to help us remember. I will read this book every year to both my children and grandchildren.
