Christmas Stories (Hardback)A Heartwarming Collection of Christmas Stories and Relfections from Max Lucado These stories—like your favorite Christmas ornaments—come in all shapes and sizes. They unfold in a variety of settings, from ancient Bethlehem to rural England. From a small Texas town to the heavenly realms. Some are short. Others many chapters long. Some offer reflections. Others imagine Christmas through the eyes of a burnt-out candle maker, a lonely business man, or heavenly angels. Yet all are vintage Lucado, and all resonate with the wonder of the season. A compilation of Christmas stories by Max Lucado celebrating the joy and wonder of the season. Some titles have been previously published, but are well worth another read. The Christmas Candle is a story of faith, forgiveness, and miracles. When an accident happens who will receive the lost candle that will make their needed miracle come true? The Christmas Child is a story of family and forgiveness. When an accident takes a life and changes two others will a family torn apart ever come together? The Answer is Yes is a story of love, rebellion, and forgiveness. It is an allegory of our Heavenly Father’s love of us and the forgiveness He offers to us His rebellious children. The North Pole or the Manger? Ponders the man behind the myth of Santa Clause and the God who became Man. Comparing Jesus with Santa we see where we should seek eternal gifts. Gabriel’s Question ponders the mode of Jesus’ coming. A peasant girl? A stable? For the Son of God? The Night in the Stable dwells on Joseph and his feelings on the night of Jesus’ birth. No Room in the Inn Jacob’s Gift is a giving up of one’s dreams by giving what you have to one who is without, a story of sacrifice. An Angel’s Story is story about the conflict to stop Jesus’ coming birth. Lucifer is shown as a conniver who will stop at nothing to thwart God’s plan for redemption, including a battle in Heaven and on Earth for the soul of humanity.Tiny Mouth, Tiny Feet is Mary’s prayer for her newborn son who will soon be her Savior and King. Includes an excerpt of GOD CAME NEAR "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." That's what each of these unique Christmas stories help us do. In the midst of the bustle and hurry that often distracts us this time of year, these stories free us to explore the ways in which Christ's coming has forever changed history—and us.
