The Message of Christmas (Softcover)

More than two thousand years ago, the people of God were looking and longing for a Savior, but they didn't expect Jesus. His miraculous birth unfolded in a stunning paradox: While humanity routinely overlooked him, the entire cosmos celebrated his arrival. Today, believers worldwide cherish his life, death, and resurrection, and they eagerly anticipate his return. Drawn from The Message , Eugene H. Peterson's fresh, personal Scripture translation, The Message of Christmas draws together startling ancient prophecies and rich biographical accounts, leading you to an intimate and life-impacting rendezvous with the one who is the very Message of Christmas.
