Description
Through prayerful and imaginative stories, this Christmas devotional will help you enter into Christmas Time with fresh eyes and an open heart. You will hear the imagined voices of familiar Christmas characters, like Mary and Joseph, the innkeeper, and one of the Magi, as well as the voices of other people who might have been at that miraculous event of Jesus’ birth or met him later in life—like a thief who tried to steal the gifts of the Magi, the innkeeper’s son, and many more. Each story invites you to encounter the transformative power of Christ’s presence that is still at work in our world today, changing lives and the world. These stories will move you beyond the manger, beyond the familiar stories of Christmas Time, into a spiritual oasis amid the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. Starting on Christmas Day and lasting through the first week or two of January, this devotional encourages you to open your heart and mind in holy, prayerful imagination and let the Holy Spirit lead you to new encounters with Jesus. This devotional can be used by individuals, in small faith-sharing groups, with teens, and with families with younger children.
