Christmas Stories: Heartwarming Classics of Angels, a Manger, and the Birth of Hope

Experience the true meaning of Christmas with this giftable volume of Christmas stories from beloved storyteller Max Lucado.

These stories—like your favorite Christmas ornaments—come in various shapes and sizes. They unfold in settings from ancient Bethlehem to rural England. From a small Texas town to the heavenly realms. Others imagine Christmas through the eyes of a burned-out candle maker and a lonely businessman.

Discover the heavenly battle between angels and demons preceding Christ’s birth. Walk in Joseph’s shoes as he ponders the miracle before him. Travel to a modern-day nativity scene where the baby Jesus is missing. You'll be awed anew at God’s gift to us with this beloved collection of yuletide tales.

"In the mystery of Christmas," Max writes, "we find its majesty. The mystery of how God became flesh, why he chose to come, and how much he must love his people. Such mysteries can never be solved, just as love can never be diagrammed. Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but imagination."

In the midst of the bustle and hurry that often distracts us this time of year, these stories free us to explore the ways in which Christ’s coming has forever changed history—and us.
