"What does the Bible really say about the birth of Jesus? How did the celebration of Jesus' birth become associated with things like Santa Claus and Christmas Trees? In The True Meaning of Christmas: The Birth of Jesus and the Origins of the Season, biblical scholar Michael Patrick Barber offers an inspiring look at the Bible's accounts of Jesus' birth and the development of celebration of Christmas. Along the way, he answers numerous questions, including: How is the Christmas story related to ancient Jewish expectations? Why is Jesus said to be laid in a "manger"? What are Magi? What was the Christmas star? How did December 25th become the date of Christmas? How did Saint Nicholas become "Santa Claus"? Some of the answers may surprise you, but, as Barber explains, only by understanding the message at the heart of Christmas can we fully enter into the joy it promises"--

"We have all experienced miracles. An incredible chance encounter that changes everything...help that suddenly appears from nowhere...kindness handed to us when it is least expected. In Christmas Miracles, Karen Kingsbury presents real-life stories about people whose lives were changed by the wonder of Christmas.

Then, with hearts full of hope, we wait in expectation for the miracle of that holy, silent night." --

"Discover the inspiring, unknown, against-all-odds story of how the classic animated holiday special A Charlie Brown Christmas almost never made it onto television. Professor and cultural historian Michael Keane reveals much in this nostalgia-inducing book packed with original research and interviews. Keane compellingly shows that the ultimate broadcast of the Christmas special-given its incredibly tight five-month production schedule and the decidedly unfavorable reception it received by the skeptical network executives who first screened it-was nothing short of a miracle. Keane explains why the show, despite its technical shortcomings, has become an uplifting and enduring triumph embraced by millions of families every Christmas season, even more than fifty years after its premiere. This gripping and joyful behind-the-scenes story of how the creators of A Charlie Brown Christmas struggled to bring the program to life will also help readers (and loyal fans) understand how America's favorite Christmas special changed our popular culture forever. Keane masterfully weaves the momentous events of 1965 (the turbulent year of the program's production) into his story, providing critical context for a profound new understanding of the program's famous climactic scene, Linus's spot-lit soliloquy answering the question repeatedly posed by Charlie Brown-'Can someone tell me what Christmas is all about?'"--

"Other than baby Jesus, the central character of the Christmas story is a woman named Mary. At Christmastime we remember that an ordinary, young, poor, oppressed woman was chosen to play a significant and breakthrough role in the redemption of the world. It is no mistake that a woman gets to be a part of all this, and that her voice, her questions, her fears, and her actions matter. Mary's faith and her wisdom form an astonishing aspect of the story of how God became a person for the love of this world. And in our weary world that is waiting and longing for light, meaning, peace, and love, we can do as Mary did when she "treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.""--

The liturgical season of Lent and Good Friday are very important for Christians as they meditate and reflect upon the dying of Jesus. These are traditions that take us back to the very beginnings of the Christian tradition. From early times, pilgrims have made their way to the Holy Land, especially Jerusalem, to walk where Jesus walked and to remember his death on the cross. Not everyone can go to Jerusalem, and we cannot stand at the foot of the cross of Jesus, but the Stations of the Cross and the Seven Last Words may take us to Jerusalem and to Calvary imaginatively.

Awaiting the Manger journeys with you through Advent season, illuminating how God has used the lives of ordinary people to foreshadow his plan for redemption.
