註釋Christmas in the Twenty-first Century has been romanticized and commercialized so much that it bears little resemblance to its original roots. We sometimes forget that the first Christmas involved political intrigue, a murderous king, religious intolerance, teenage pregnancy, and desperate, dangerous travel. This book is a Thirty-one day devotional journey that looks at the Christmas story in a fresh way, reminding us that real people faced real danger and made real history. Discover new treasures about the Advent of Christ in this down-to-earth look at the Real Christmas Story. Explore the Bible and connect the dots as you consider these questions: Can a genealogy possibly be interesting? Are there really prostitutes in the Messianic line of ancestry? Are Nativity scenes accurate? Why shepherds? Who were the Magi, and why did they trouble Herod? What kind of honeymoon did Joseph and Mary have? What do we really know about Jesus' childhood, anyway? You'll enjoy discovering hidden facts about these topics and more in these down-to-earth and sometimes humorous reflections that unpack the reality of Christmas in a way that will challenge and inspire you.
