Hope for the World by Teresa Kogut

The story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas back in the third century in Asia Minor. His parents raised him to be a devout Christian. They died in an epicemic when he was young, and left him a great deal of money. Following the thought of "sell what you own and help the poor", Nicholas did just that. He dedicated his life to serving God, became a Bishop, and was known for his generosity.
