Christmas and Bible Mystery Stories

The books they'll remember longer than the presents.

Every Lifted Lantern story stands on its own — a single mystery your family can read together in one sitting, no calendar required. Start with a Christmas caper or a Bible mystery and see which one your family loves best.

  • A Christmas Mystery Story

    Something's gone missing, something is awry, someone's not telling the truth, and Christmas Day is coming soon. These full-length stories are packed with suspects, red herrings, memorable characters, and endings kids won't see coming. The kind of book that turns "one more chapter" into a family tradition.

  • A Bible-Centered Christmas Mystery

    Kids don't outgrow mysteries — and they don't outgrow big questions either. These full-length stories put both in the same book: page-turning cases that keep the whole family guessing, and endings that leave kids with something worth keeping — about grace, forgiveness, courage, and the God who's been in the story all along. Read them aloud, one chapter at a time, and let the questions come.
