The nativity is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling of longing for universal peace that envelops the earth around the end of the year. It's also not just a sign pointing to something greater in our lives. In trenchant messages liberally sprinkled with contemporary illustrations, Daniel Weitner reminds us that to know what Christmas is all about, we don't have to look outside Bethlehem...beyond the manger...or past the baby Jesus. Instead we should focus on the birth of Jesus the Redeemer -- that is the wonderful event!
