God's Precious Gift in a Manger

The first read of God's Precious Gift in a Manger is a sweet experience. Rebecca Lamb's text is serene and gentle, yet it successfully covers the complex subject of man's need for a Savior from Adam and Eve in the garden until Christ comes as a baby in the manger. It is powerful, yet simple. The book gives the reader an understanding of God's watchful care from the beginning of time through the history of man and finally, God's provision of a Savior. Erickson's wonderful illustrations offer a superb visual for adults and children alike. They are colorful - yet have a slight overtone of sepia - reminiscent of historical photos of scenes from a past century. One is transported back in time by the feel of antiquity in the pictures. The combination of Lamb's fluid text and Erickson's charming illustrations make a delightful book that will be enjoyed time and again. While one might expect this to be exclusively a seasonal, Christmas book...it is much more than a Christmas book. I would expect this to be a terrific tool for Sunday school, homeschool, or in the home. I bought a copy for a gift, and one for myself! It is such a sweet and sincere book, I expect I haven't bought my last copy yet. Consider God's Precious Gift in a Manger if you are looking for a good book to read together as a family, with your children, or as a gift. What a great first effort from Rebecca Lamb. Look for more good things to come from this new author.
