The Extraordinary Story of Christmas

Jo Collins

Description

God revealed His plan for mankind even as His son was being born. That is what makes it The Extraordinary Story of Christmas! When Biblical and historical details are incorporated, it foretells the life of Jesus and his commitment to the cross. There is so much more to the story of the birth of Jesus than traditionally taught! Much of the information for this book is taken from the Biblical teaching of Rick Renner in his series, Christmas the Rest of the Story. Although this book written for children, adults will be enlighten as well.
The Extraordinary Story of Christmas is based on little understood and known Biblical and historical facts surrounding the birth of Jesus. There is so much more to the story of Christmas than what is traditionally taught. When placed in a proper Biblical and historical framework, this story becomes a revelation of the life and destiny of Jesus and what that means for us. This is what makes this Christmas story so extraordinary! Why did God choose Joseph and Mary to be the parents of Jesus? Who were these two remarkable people? Why was Jesus born in a manger? Why did God announce His son’s birth to shepherds? Who were these shepherds? What type of angels announced the birth? The answers to these questions reveal the most remarkable Extraordinary Story of Christmas ever told.
