The Gifts They Brought (Hardcover)

£19.99
Three gifts. Three mysteries. One extraordinary Child. Most retellings of the Christmas story mention the wise men's gifts in a single sentence, gold, frankincense, and myrrh, valuable tribute for a newborn king. The Gifts They Brought asks what each of these three substances actually means, traced fully through Scripture rather than left at that single familiar verse. From gold that once covered the ark of the covenant and will one day pave the streets of the New Jerusalem, to frankincense whose formula was once forbidden for common use and later became Revelation's own image of rising prayer, to myrrh present at Joseph's betrayal centuries before Bethlehem and present again, twice, at Christ's own cross and borrowed tomb, this book traces each gift patiently to its end, uncovering a picture considerably richer than gold for a king, frankincense for a priest, and myrrh for a coming death. Written in a warm, clear, and accessible voice, this is the ninth book in the author's Christmas series, and it stands complete on its own. For anyone who has ever wondered what those three gifts actually meant, this book offers a careful, thorough answer, and a fuller picture of the child who turned out to fulfil everything they had quietly been saying all along.
