About this audiobook
★★★ The story of Christmas like you’ve never heard before ★★★
The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. It’s passed through countries, and they’ve tacked on their little spin.
We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairytale. It’s an inspiring one for sure. But a fairytale, nonetheless.
When you begin to unwrap the many layers of the first Christmas, you begin to see that there’s more to Christmas than meets the eye. God is giving us a message—a gift to unwrap. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is.
This is the story of Christmas. Christmas: God’s gift to us.
This book is a stand-alone title of the Organic Faith series.

Reviews for Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good, simplistic and the nominal will find it easy to understand, but know that there is much more to learn than this work has to offer. A reminder that the Christian Faith is built on historical realities. Its not a matter of what you believe, but it proves True and holds up to scrutiny.
