The Christmas story is more than sentimental, It is powerful, deals with real people, involves pain, It is one of the most strikingly unusual stories in all of history. The Christmas story has deep meaning, not merely a nice bed time story for your children, but as a foundation point for your salvation.

Really enjoyed this collection of sermons. In four sections (16 sermons) looking at Christ and Christmas, The Virgin Birth and Christmas, The First Christmas and The People of Christmas. Can see this being reread...

The popular pastor/teacher at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia in the 1950's shares his insights on the familiar Christmas story with this series of sermons. Halos, Hay shepherds and young motherhood can bring tears to the eyes of Christmastime church goers but the message goes beyond this in its sheer power, its reality and its uniqueness in time.
