Why is Christmas such a big deal?
If you stop to think about it, it is astounding that the simple,
unassuming birth of a peasant baby boy more than two thousand years ago
in the Middle East can today cause traffic jams every December in places
like New York City, Tokyo, and Rio de Janeiro.
The night Jesus
Christ was born in Bethlehem, a small group of poor shepherds were
quietly tending their flocks of sheep in a nearby field, looking up at
the stars. Nothing seemed any different from a thousand other nights.
But what was about to happen would transform not only their lives but
billions of other lives as well. The world would never be the same
again.
Regardless of your background, religion, problems, or
circumstances, Christmas really is the best news you could get. In his
powerful yet compassionate voice, Rick Warren explains how God designed
Christmas to meet your three deepest needs and how understanding and
receiving God's three Christmas gifts to you will transform your life
forever.
If you feel that Christmas has become nothing more
than a source of emotional and financial stressÉIf somewhere along the
line you lost "the reason for the season"...
You need to hear this powerful little book!
