Customer Reviews

Very informative and thought provoking

SOmeone recommended this to me, so I found it half price somewhere and picked it up. What a treasure! Each reading offered me so much information and gave me pause to really think. I think it is a great book, and next year plan to go through it with my kids at Christmas. Several people popped in my mind that might benefit from this book. It doesn't preach, it teaches

Christmas in High-Def

Why the Angels? Why Bethlehem? Why Mary? Why the Star of Bethlehem? "Why the Nativity?" is a nice informative book. I say "nice" in that it's full of Biblical facts yet its tone is one of effortlessness. Each chapter ends with discussion questions for anyone who wants to go the extra mile. (I didn't, but it's there if you're so inclined.) The book paints a colorful picture of Bethlehem at the time in which Jesus was born. It helped me see the event more clearly. I'll even go as far as to say that some Biblical things "clicked" with me for the first time. And, I love that with scripture -- when things just suddenly stand out -- as if it's the first time you've heard it. I personally liked the chapter regarding the star of Bethlehem the most. It reminded me of an astronomy movie I saw a few year back at the New York Planetarium in which they mentioned a bright constellation occurring in 7 B.C. Here as well, I read about the year in which Jupiter and Saturn were aligned (in 7 B.C.) to create a bright "star" and that Jupiter was considered a star of "royal" status; something the Magi would have known. I didn't know; something learned. A nice informative read about the infinite realm breaking through in to our clueless midst. Yes, a nice read indeed.
