This is a great book for people who think they know the Christmas story, and for those who know that they don't. It's both creative and historical, simple and insightful, fresh and faithful. It's a great book, and I hope it is widely read and used. -- Kevin DeYoung (Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, NC; author, Crazy Busy and Just Do Something)
This book blows the dust off the first Christmas story! It's fast paced, witty and will help anyone discover what really happened when Jesus was born. Get lots of copies and pass them on to as many people as you can. -- Lee McMunn (Evangelist and church planter in Hull; presenter of Identity)
A humorous, piercing and above all truthful book that challenges our preconceptions of Christmas. Carl writes with wit and a real grasp of modern minds to show us that Jesus can't stay in the manger. -- Rico Tice (Founder, Christianity Explored Ministries)
This little book gets us beyond the commercialism and hype, the fiction and the fantasy, to the true message of the historical Christmas. Each chapter is divided into two parts: (1) what really happened, (2) why it really matters. -- Dave McDonald (TGC Australia)
