Miracle of Christmas, The - The Truth

John MacArthur provides the reader with both the biblical and historical review of events surrounding the REAL Christmas story. This short book would be a great annual review for anyone who believes in the truth of the Christmas story.

Excellent Book on the Christmas Season

MacArthur has written what I believe is an excellent book that churches and families can use for Christmas Sunday School lessons or family Christmas devotions. A few years ago our church used this book for November and December Sunday School lessons and was greatly blessed and encouraged. MacArthur peppers the text with the cultural, economic, and social background of the time and shows how the lessons apply to life today. The book is about 150 pages and consists of 9 chapters: 1. A Christmas Prophecy 2. Knots on the Family Tree 3. Is the Virgin Birth Really Essential? 4. Joseph and Mary 5. The People Who Missed Christmas (my personal favorite - hint: it's not "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays"!) 6. God in a Manger 7. Who Were the Wise Men? 8. Born to Die 9. O Come Let Us Adore Him Whether used for Sunday School lessons, family devotions, or your own study, the book will bless and will yet be another reminder of what the Christmas season is REALLY about! Read and be encouraged. Highly recommended!

Insightful Analysis of the Roots and Meaning of Christmas

In _The Miracle of Christmas_, John MacArthur analyzes every aspect of Christ's birth and the glorious meaning this has for Christians. He travels from the prophecies of Christ's coming in the Old Testament, through the lives of Joseph and Mary, and all the way to the wise men. Amongst this story of the first Christmas, MacArthur weaves short explanations of how such Christmas rituals as trees, cards, and Santa Clause came about. All is well-written, and a fascinating tribute to the importance of Christ's birth to Christians.
