    About this ebook

    How can we stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas amidst so much distraction during the holidays? Beloved preacher and evangelist Billy Graham invites you to celebrate Christmas and the birth and life of Christ through a new perspective—the cradle, cross, and crown.

    The biblical Christmas message is so often lost in the busyness and commercialism of the holiday season—holiday parties, family get-togethers, and the pressure to spend excessively on loved ones. How and where can we experience and share Christ at Christmas?

    Drawing from a lifetime of writings and sermons, world-renowned preacher and author Billy Graham helps us slow down and focus on Jesus by taking us back to the time when heaven descended to earth to the place where Christ was born.

    This classic Christmas message includes

    • Excerpts from This Christmas Night
    • Scriptural accounts of Christ’s birth
    • Favorite Christmas carols
    • Beautiful poetry by Billy Graham's wife, Ruth Bell Graham

    Use this message of hope to point you and your family toward Jesus this Christmas. And give it as a gift to your friends, loved ones, or complete strangers. Experience Christ this Christmas through The Cradle, Cross, and Crown.

      The Cradle, Cross, and Crown - Billy Graham

      Foreword

      In the midst of all the upheaval and crisis and difficulty and problems and fear, comes the message of Christmas with all of its hope, goodwill, and cheer. I think the message of Christmas has been terribly misapplied and misunderstood for many years in this country. Some think of business profits, shopping, gifts, tinsel, toys, and celebration. Others think only of Bethlehem, of the star in the sky, shepherds in the field and angels singing. Still others cynically ask, Where is this Prince of Peace in a world filled with so much trouble?

      The real Christmas message goes far deeper. It heralds the entrance of God into human history. It is heaven descending to earth. It is as though a trumpeter had taken his stand upon the turrets of time and announced to a despairing, hopeless, and frustrated world the coming of the Prince of Peace. It answers all the great questions that plague the human race at this hour. The Christmas message is relevant, revolutionary, and reassuring to us today. I believe it can be summed up in three words: a cradle, a Cross, and a crown.
