Wonderful little book!
I purchased several of these to distribute among family and friends. Very well written and simple/short enough to not be intimidating for someone who is not a reader (there is actually one person in my family that is not a reader!). From this book I learned that 365 times in the Bible, God tells us "do not be afraid"--so that's 1 "Fear Not!" per day!!

Rick WarrenâÂÂs book, The Purpose of Christmas, describes with simplicity and clarity the true message of Christmas. What does Christmas mean to you? Is it the shopping? Is it spending time with family? Is it giving to others? The true meaning and purpose of Christmas can be found in the story of ChristâÂÂs birth. Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of the Savior of the world.
The hurried activities during the holiday season can cause us to take our eyes off the manger. The manger was GodâÂÂs way to bring Salvation to us. God sent his Son to give us freedom from sin, guilt, bitterness, and addiction. By looking to Jesus and trusting in Him you can be free. While reading this book you will be reminded that you were saved for a purpose. Your salvation was not a random act but a planned redemption. We should always be ready to share this Christmas message with others.
Jesus is the reason for the season and this book is a wonderful reminder of why we celebrate His birth. An easy read for anyone not familiar with the gospel and an encouraging read for anyone who has forgotten why we celebrate Christmas each year.
I was given this book by christianreviewofbooks.com to review
