Before The Manger (Paperback)

£9.99

Christmas began long before Bethlehem. Most retellings of the Christmas story begin with a census and a journey. Before the Manger begins much earlier, in a garden, at the exact moment everything first went wrong, tracing the long, deliberate preparation that ran from that first promise all the way to a manger in Bethlehem. From a covenant God sealed entirely alone, to a son bound on a mountain and a ram provided at exactly the right moment, to blood marking doorposts against a night of judgement, to a bronze serpent lifted on a pole, to prophecies naming a virgin's conception and a servant's wounds centuries in advance, to barren wombs opened again and again, and finally four hundred years of silence broken at precisely the appointed time, this book traces every thread of preparation Scripture itself lays out, long before Bethlehem ever enters the story. Written in a warm, clear, and accessible voice, this is the tenth book in the author's Christmas series, and it stands complete on its own. For anyone who has ever wondered how far back the Christmas story really goes, this book offers a careful, thorough answer, and a deeper appreciation for exactly how long and how patiently the world was prepared for the child finally born in a manger.
