The Annunciation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798330429363)

A book about the Christmas story - no, not the one with the Red Ryder BB gun rifle. A fictionalized work based on the Biblical accounts of events surrounding the Birth of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

When you think of Christmas, you can still hear Dad's voice as he reads from Luke 2, "In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken..." We love the Story of Christmas, but the Bible story has many gaps from scene to scene.

What happened during those spaces? What did Mary and Joseph say to each other when she told him she was pregnant? What were the angels like who visited them? And don't forget the shepherds! They were visited by a whole army of angels who told them the good news before they told anyone else!

The Annunciation attempts to fill in the gaps and write the missing dialogue. It is a fictionalized work based on the Biblical accounts of events surrounding the Birth of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Michael K. Zimmerli is the author of the Blue Bridge Mysteries, a freelance editor, a senior adult Sunday School teacher, and a former worship leader.
