Experience the Christmas story and witness the goodness of God. Through historical details and Biblical truths, The Wonders of the First Christmas is an inspirational and educational picture book that tells the story of Jesus’s birth from a new perspective, helping families deepen their understanding of God and his word.
The Christmas story is so familiar that we often take the details for granted. But did Mary and Joseph really ride on a donkey to Bethlehem? What was a manger and why did they use one for Jesus’s bed? And where were the wise men actually from? By approaching the story with historical insight and a child’s sense of wonder, Andy Mc Guire crafts a tale that feels fresh and insightful, using well-researched material and beautiful original artwork.
The Wonders of the First Christmas:
- Combines the gospel text of the nativity story with historical, biological, and geographic facts about ancient Israel and the life and times of Jesus.
- Gives children a solid foundation for their faith with beautiful art and additional content.
- Is the perfect Advent or Christmas book to share with children ages 4 and up
- Includes an easy-to-read main story as well as callouts with easy-to-understand facts
Emphasizes God’s love for his children and his plan for our salvation.
