By revisiting the people and events of that first Christmas, Dr. Stanley reveals the unique lessons that long-ago starry night offers to each of us today. Such timeless truths as . . .
true peace and joy are found only in Christ, not in the things of this world;Christmas itself is undeniable evidence that God always keeps His promises;the Lord God not only lives and reigns, but He is intimately involved in every circumstance of our lives; andthe perfect gift for us to give Jesus is the gift of our own heart.Christmas is a gift to everyone on earth. That gift has different meaning to God—Christ’s birth was His perfect plan that unfolded in His perfect time.
