From pastor and New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller comes the perfect gift for the holidays - a profoundly moving and intellectually provocative examination of the Nativity story.

Even people who are not professing Christians think they are familiar with the story of the Nativity. Every Christmas, displays of Jesus resting in a manger populate lawns and churchyards, and songs about shepherds and angels fill the air. Yet despite the abundance of these Christian references in popular culture, how many of us have examined the hard edges of this biblical story?

In his new book, Timothy Keller takes listeners on an illuminating journey into the surprising background of the Nativity. By understanding the message of hope and salvation within the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, listeners will experience the redeeming power of God's grace in a meaningful and deeper way.

Critic reviews

“[A] great gift book.... Keller achieves his pastoral goal of teaching Christmas’ most important message - ‘God alone has the life, truth, and joy that we lack and cannot generate ourselves’ - and in doing so, provides solace for those who seek it.” (Publishers Weekly)

I really liked the content of the book, but I struggled with the reader. His inflection, the words he chose to accent made it difficult to "hear." I listen to lots of books and this has been the most difficult for me to get through. it was almost like an off tempo song. I'm going to have to buy and read the book, and I'm worried because I bought a few others with this reader. I'm sure others have not had the issues I had and felt it was well done, but it bothered me so much I felt I had to write this and I never leave comments.

hmmm...

I listened to this book while driving up to college with my dad, who is not a practicing Christian. I was initially skeptical about listening to the audio with him on this 12+ hour drive, but I was thrilled with how the book presented important themes of Christianity and offered relevant examples that my father could follow and relate to. I especially loved the inclusion of Joseph’s story, which truly resonated with both me and my father. This is a 10/10 book recommendation. If possible, I highly recommend reading (or listening to) this book before Christmas Eve. Thank you, Mr. Keller, for such an amazing book!
