What Child is This?

Appearances of Angels, Miraculous Conceptions, Scandalous Rumors, Surprised Shepherds, Prophecies in the Temple, Deranged Tyrants, Strange Visitors from the East, Staying One Step Ahead of Death, This is the True Story of Advent! In his latest book, Jonathan Williams helps us see what centuries of tradition have blinded us to. The story of Advent was anything but a calm, peaceful, pastoral scene filled with joy and warmth for all. Here is the true story of Advent that explores the range of human emotion - from heartbreaking grief to rapturous praise, from arduous journeys to terror in the night. Hard obedience and faith in a God who must do the impossible shine as bright as the star of Bethlehem.
