Gabriel Forgets His Lines
by Brian Krushel


A loveable angel named Gabriel is chosen to convey the most important message of his career. With eons to rehearse he's sure to get it juuuust right. But in his excitement to deliver the greatest news ever, his memory fails. How will he ever recover from the embarrassment? He returns at warp speed to the Throne Room where his memory is restored. Will he get it right the second time?


Brian Krushel, BTh, MDiv, DMin, was a parish minister in Alberta, Canada for thirty-two years. He composed and then told this story every year at the annual Christmas Eve service, to the delight of children of all ages. Brian and his wife Val raised three daughters, all of whom can recite Gabriel's story from memory. Mark Cann and his family live in New Brunswick. Mark's creative genius resulted in the captivating illustrations of Gabriel's antics. Some of Mark's inspiration comes from watching and enjoying his three young children.
