About this listen

There's more to this story than you've been told.

Is there more about the story of Christmas you wish you understood or that you have specific questions about? In this storybook of biblical truth and history, Rick Renner takes you on the magical journey of Christ's coming to earth as a baby—and the purpose of his coming—in a way you’ve probably never heard it before.

Christmas — the Rest of the Story tells the spellbinding story of God’s plan to redeem mankind—from the angel’s pronouncement to the virgin Mary, and her espousal and marriage to Joseph all the way to the angels’ glorious heralding of the Savior’s birth and his young, "ordinary" life marked by God Almighty’s extraordinary plan.

Some of the topics covered include:

  • Why God chose Mary
  • Why angels viewed God in the flesh with such wonderment
  • Who were the "shepherds keeping watch" and the Magi?
  • What was the value of the Magi’s famous gifts?
  • A baby-dedication ceremony of all ceremonies!
  • Why King Herod was so troubled by this historical birth?
  • The humility of the Creator’s death.
  • How to prepare for Jesus’ next coming.

This book is sure to be a favorite family book in your home, perhaps for generations to come! Jesus’ birth, life, sacrificial death, and glorious resurrection is truly the greatest story on earth — but it has never been more uniquely told than in these chapters written by Rick Renner.

I am so thankful that Pastor Renner took the time to research and follow each thread of the Christmas story. I loved hearing the words of historians and later church leaders explaining things we just don’t talk about anymore, with the story of Jesus’s birth. It is an excellent read.

All the details we never hear

Great Story!!

The book helped me fill in the gaps of the story of Jesus’s childhood, bridging the gap between his birth and his sacrifice. The research for this work also sheds light on the background of Joseph and Mary’s blood line that fulfilled prophecy.

I loved the book. It was recommended to me by my pastor because I have theological issues with Christmas and it provided so much new information that I will never forget anytime. I think of the Christmas story but it still did not address. The timing of Jesus's birth and why we celebrated on December 25th. I'm still perplexed considering that that is pagan. That is the date that pagan's considered the birthdate of their gods and the Bible tells us not to take things have pagan and try to make them our own and I feel like that's what we've done with Christmas.We've taken pagan, a pagan holiday to.Their god and just celep the name of our god on it and that would be taking our god's name in vain

So much new information
