Synopsis

Meet the awesome God at the heart of the familiar Christmas story and discover the joy, hope, purpose, and belonging we’re all searching for. 

Most of us are familiar with the events of the first Christmas—the manger scene, shepherds watching sheep, angels singing their songs, and wise men arriving—but what if there’s more to the story? What if the birth of Jesus is actually the most significant event in all of history and can transform our lives? 

This evangelistic book goes beyond the birth of Jesus to look at what he did when he grew up and how he fulfilled the names given to him centuries beforehand by the prophet Isaiah. 

In a compelling, insightful, winsome and personal way, J.D. Greear shows that if we get to know the God who lies behind the Christmas story and at the heart of the Christmas story, we’ll discover the joy, hope, purpose, and belonging we’re all searching for. 

Readers will see that Jesus is the Wonderful Counsellor, who can guide them in all truth; the Mighty God, who made and owns everything; the Eternal Father, who they can trust to love them for ever; and the Prince of Peace, who died in their place so that they can be forgiven and accepted eternally.

A few thoughts: - Maybe I’m just too cynical right now to attempt books like this. Or maybe it’s the incessant failures of white male pastors and the way they have all the same freakin lingo that turns me away. — attempting a little Jesus Christmas book was a fail, hate to break it to you! - I tried t......more

Goodreads review by Gabriel

Typical JD. Super easy to read, really engaging, funny illustrations and deep gospel truth. This is the #1 resource I would recommend to share with an unbelieving friend around Christmas time because of how engaging and accessible it is. He goes thru the 4 names of God in Isaiah 9: Wonderful Counsell......more

Goodreads review by C.J.

This is a helpful book-length (mini-book?) Christmas tract, walking through the four names of Christ in Isaiah 9:6. Could be great resource for evangelism, particularly evangelism done at Christmas time.......more
