Loading... The Very First Christmasby Paul L. Maier
None. Maier writes this children's book at a very high level. It is designed to explain the historical circumstances of Jesus' birth to children but will also inform their parents. He includes many details that scholars are interested in but which are not usually mentioned at Christmas. (  ) True54Blue | Dec 23, 2009 |  This is written from the point of view of a young boy who enjoys true stories. It is a delight to read but is even better when read as to the entire family.  salem.colorado | Sep 17, 2008 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0758606168, Paperback)Author and historian Paul Maier aims to "return the Christmas focus where it belongs"--on the story and spirit surrounding Jesus' birth. Thus, The Very First Christmas doesn't follow the prescribed children's Christmas-book themes--with fairy-tale winter settings in quaint, old European towns. Maier instead sets the story in the American West, where a curious 8-year-old boy named Christopher wants a "real" bedtime story. His mother then tells him the miraculous story of the Nativity. (Ages 4 to 8)(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 08:55:41 -0500) Examines the Nativity story as the origin of Christmas, viewing it in both scriptural and secular contexts. |
