It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
…Christmas!
Get into the Christmas Spirit
This is a great little book to get you into the mood for Christmas, and help you recognise the true meaning behind all the things we love to do to celebrate this time of year.
In 58 short pages, Andrew Wilson shows how the things we love most about Christmas, like putting up lights, spending time with family, watching Christmas TV and making memories together, are linked to key parts of Jesus’ birth on the very first Christmas, just over 2,000 years ago.
The Heart of Christmas
Andrew Wilson writes:
‘This book aims to persuade you of one thing: that all these Christmas joys only make sense—and in fact life only begins to make sense—if we understand the meaning of the first Christmas.
It is only in the Bethlehem manger, surrounded by shepherds and wise men and farm animals, that we find the reason for the trees, traditions, tinsel and turkey. But more importantly, it is only in the Bethlehem manger that we find the reason for the deeper things that make life meaningful for the rest of the time. It is only there that we find real hope that the world will one day be filled with peace and justice, love that does not depend on our ability or performance, and joy that can withstand the ups and downs of life.’
Throughout the book, Wilson does what he always does so well - he says things in ways which are funny, surprising, helpful and take us deeper into the life-changing realities revealed in the birth of Christ. Because of that, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas is both an easy read and a really helpful one, whether you’re a Christian who has already thought about the significance of Christmas, or someone who doesn’t know the story at all.
A Perfect Gift!
So, why not pick up a copy for yourself, a friend, colleague or neighbour, and step into Christmas with me.
