This book is so needed! We have secularized Christmas and Easter to the point that Christ Jesus has dropped out of the picture. The birth and death of that man named Jesus is overwhelmingly impactful to our lives as individuals and citizens of this planet. We have left our first Love - if you ever learned to return the love He has for you - go back to knowing Him more than you celebrate his life's beginning and end. Your future hangs in the balance of that short 33 year life.

This is the BEST book for Christmas. Such a beautiful explaination of the true meaning of Christmas.

An elderly woman in our congregation, in talking about how important this book was to her, said, "For a number of years, I have felt so lonely and sad at Christmas, but this book reminds me of the true joy of Christmas." Our study group seemed surprised at every turn by Keller's insights.

Keller is always insightful; explaining familiar Scripture with a warm, personal understandong that seems so obvious after he explains it. If you are already a fan of Tim Keller, you will not be disappointed. If you have never read his work, this is a good beginning.

A very good book--just the kind to read in preparation for a true celebration of Christmas (but it would be good to read at any time).
