Description
Read the story of Christ's birth from a while new vantage point...from the viewpoint of Heaven. The Birth is the third in the series The Chronicles of Heaven written by beloved storyteller Gene Edwards. The Birth has become the most popular rendering of the Bethlehem story. The drama begins in the eternals. Just before the birth of John the Baptist, the skies had turned to brass. Michael and Lucifer battle in an unforgettable duel, as Michael rips open the brass to allow prayers of Elizabeth show more to ascend to the throne. From that point on the story never lets up. An edge-of-your-seat saga of the Christmas story like you have never read!. show lessTags
