Travel to a modern-day nativity scene where the baby Jesus is missing. You'll be awed anew at God's gift to us with this beloved collection of yuletide tales.

"In the mystery of Christmas," Max writes, "we find its majesty. The mystery of how God became flesh, why he chose to come, and how much he must love his people. Such mysteries can never be solved, just as love can never be diagrammed. Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but imagination."

Christmas Stories is a perfect gift for anyone seeking to rediscover the meaning of Christmas or share its message of hope with others. Filled with encouraging stories, this collection is sure to remain a treasured part of your own holiday traditions for years to come.
