My Fav Christmas Read is . . .

This is the story of two real people whose lives were touched by God: two people chosen by God to provide an earthly home for His Son. Here are Mary and Joseph-a teenage girl and a young carpenter-alone, frightened, in love, faced with family conflict, a hostile world and an awesome responsibility. It is a story for young and old alike; for everyone who finds the Christmas tale a source of timeless beauty and wonder, a compassionate, emotional novel of divine love

I'll never forget the first time I read this, I was probably in my early 20's. I feel in love with Ms. Holmes beautiful love story of Mary and Joseph and how Jesus came in to this world. It's one thing to read the beautiful story in Luke. Ms. Holmes takes that story and breathes new life into it. I read this story every year until my copy was destroyed in one of our overseas moves. If you have not read this book I highly recommend it!
