Learn Something Life Changing This Christmas!
After years, sometimes even decades, of hearing the Christmas story so many times, we lose the meaning. The story of the birth of Jesus Christ as told Luke Chapter 2 is the best-known story in the Bible. Ask anyone and they can tell you about Caesar’s tax. Everyone knows about Mary and Joseph’s trip to Bethlehem. Most people can tell you that Jesus was born in a stable. We’ve heard the story thousands of times, over and over, in Christmas pageants, plays, cards, TV programs, movies, and music. To many, the story of God becoming a man - of God taking on human flesh – has become so common that the greatest miracle in history has lost its impact. That’s why The Nativity was written, to help you take a fresh look at the Christmas story – to help you see beyond the familiar and find the true Spirit of Christmas.

Review:
~I’d like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
This was a great book about Christmas.
The Nativity explores Christmas, and how it applies to our life. Each chapter discusses a different part of it, like Mary & Joseph, the angels, the shepherds, etc. I love how each chapter also has lots of real-life stories that help the Christmas story and the lessons that can be learned from it come alive.
All in all, if you’re looking for a non-fiction book to read during Christmas time, definitely give this one a try!
Things I Loved:
