Red Gloves
The Red Gloves books are a collection of Christmas novels. Each has just 12 chapters, so that the stories are suitable for reading aloud, perhaps over the 12 days of Christmas. In addition, a pair of red gloves becomes some part of each story. Karen used red gloves because that was the gift Gideon gave old Earl in her first Red Gloves book, Gideon's Gift. Red symbolizes the color of Christ's blood, and the color of Christmas, and gloves symbolize warm hands. It is with our hands that we reach out to people in Christ's name.- Q. What are Red Gloves Projects?
-
A. Red Gloves Projects involve a group of people - families, friends, co-workers, churches, Scout troops, etc - donning red gloves and taking part in a service project intended to give something back at Christmas time.
- Q. Why gloves?
-
