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.
