By Bright Treasures Dated: Dec 14, 2011
Rumors are flying that Santa is not real, and that he takes away from the true meaning of Christmas. In Santa’s Greatest Gift, Santa responds to these accusations, revealing his true identity and shedding light on the true identity of every soul on earth.
Santa’s Greatest Gift: The Truth About Santa's Identity Wrapped in the Spiritual Truth of Christmas, written by Rebecca Whitecotton and published by Bright Treasures, is available this year as a free downloadable booklet that parents can print out and put in their kids’ stockings. In addition, Santa’s Greatest Gift is also now a free ebook in iBooks, Nook, and other ereaders at Smashwords.com. For information and to download, visit http://www.brighttreasures.net.
This reassuring letter from Santa guides the child in all of us through the rumors of falsehood to the amazing discovery that Santa is real and living as the Giving Spirit in everyone who plays the role of Santa. But Santa’s greatest gift is the knowledge that the Spirit of God that lived and was made perfect in Jesus is also alive inside each person as the Christ Spirit. The honoring of the Christ Child in each girl and boy is, in fact, the reason that Santa has been bringing gifts each year, just as the three wise men brought gifts for the Christ Child on that first Christmas.
“When I found out about Santa, I called my mom a liar,” says Whitecotton. “When I had kids myself I struggled with the notion of Santa Claus and the idea of perpetuating a fantasy that seemed to detract from the true meaning of Christmas. I wanted my kids to experience the awe and wonder of Santa Claus, but I needed to create a spiritual link between Santa and Jesus so that I could be Santa with integrity.”
Whitecotton is also the author of Child of Mine, Know This, an award-winning children’s book about the spiritual bond between parents and children. It has been called “a hallmark book in an age of emerging global consciousness” by Light of Consciousness magazine, and is called “a marvelous enticement for a young mind” by Conversations With God author Neale Donald Walsch.

A Great Mother’s Day Story:
Parenting Auditions and Pre-Life Casting Calls? Did we choose our parents and set up our life challenges before we were born?
This Mother’s Day, explore the idea that your soul chose your mother before you were born. Authors Rebecca Whitecotton and Robert Schwartz claim that souls purposefully select families and life challenges that will give them the opportunities they need to grow and learn.
When Mother’s Day rolls around, do you find yourself thinking that if you could choose any mom in the world, you would choose the one you have? That’s exactly what authors Robert Schwartz and Rebecca Whitecotton think you did – before you were even born. And if you chose a mom who pushes all your emotional buttons, or even a mother who abandoned you, they think you chose her for a reason.
The idea that souls plan their family makeup and life challenges before birth is the theme of two recently-released books, Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth? by Robert Schwartz, and Child of Mine, Know This, a children’s book by Rebecca Gittrich Whitecotton. Based on metaphysical theories of reincarnation and pre-life existence, the authors discuss the possibility that souls purposefully select families and life challenges that will give them the opportunities they need to grow and learn.
In Courageous Souls, Schwartz tells the stories of ten individuals who he says planned before birth to experience great challenges. Working with four mediums and channels, Schwartz discovers what they chose and why. He presents information that mediums obtain from pre-birth planning sessions in which souls discuss their hopes for their upcoming lifetimes. In so doing he opens a window to the other side where souls, as eternal beings, design both their trials and their potential triumphs. Schwartz says that seemingly purposeless suffering acquires meaning with the realization that it was planned.
One man, Schwartz says, chose to be born with homosexual tendencies to parents who were homophobic in order to experience and overcome the emotion of shame. In another example, Schwartz says that a woman agreed before birth to parent two handicapped children in order to assist them in following their own life plans.
Similar ideas are presented in a much different way in Child of Mine, Know This, a heartwarming children’s book about the love that bonds parent and child throughout eternity. After acknowledging that children are wise and ancient souls who selected their families and their life plans, Whitecotton discusses the promises that souls make to each other before they are born: “Before this lifetime began, I made you a promise. I promised to be the best parent that I could be. I promised to teach you the ways of the world as I know it.”
But, the book explains, the promises are not always easy to keep since we forget our spiritual existence and the promises we made once we are born. Whitecotton writes, “I made these promises knowing that many times I would forget what I promised and make choices that don’t honor the true spirit in each of us.” Child of Mine, Know This then encourages both parents and children to find those heartfelt choices that honor the true nature of the people they are closest to.
For parents and children interested in exploring their family relationships and challenges further, Whitecotton (http://www.brighttreasures.net) offers a free mp3 meditation for older children and adults to explore their relationships with their loved ones, as well as a free downloadable preview copy of Child of Mine, Know This.
Child of Mine, Know This is published by Bright Treasures, http://www.brighttreasures.net, and is available for $15.95. Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth? is published by Whispering Winds Press, http://www.CourageousSouls.com, and is available for $14.95. A free pdf sample of Courageous Souls is available on the About the Book page.
