Christmas Tapestry by Patricia Polacco*

Jonathan Jefferson Weeks was upset by the recent upheaval in his life.  His father, a pastor, left his post at a thriving church to come to a run down church in Detroit.  From growing up in the church, he knows that God has a purpose for all events but he is struggling to perceive the good in anything.
Then a series of events, seemingly unconnected, transform Jonathan's outlook and he understands that God truly has a good purpose for everything.
Miracles abound!
Based on a true story.
