Has the real meaning of Christmas become lost? How do you bring the true meaning of the holiday back to the season?
In an era when Christmas has become little more than a frenzy of exhausting and expensive consumerism, many Christians are searching for a way to reclaim the deeper meaning of the celebration for their children and family. New York Times best-selling author W. Cleon Skousen’s The Real Story of Christmas reconnects the reader with what Christmas is supposed to be: peace, goodwill, and the story of Jesus Christ.
Skousen provides historical context and a clear explanation of the events, the places, and the people involved in the birth of Jesus–Mary and Joseph, Zacharias and Elizabeth, Simeon and Anna, the three wise men, and the Roman occupying army.
