Christmas and the Joshua Tree: Epic Poem and Allegory for Christmas

By Xlibris US

So often the true meaning of Christmas can escape us and leave many of us dumbfounded. And so this Christmas narrative poem was composed to show that the most significant things in life are quite frequently esoteric also.
For God Himself is a hidden God: born in a remote village of Israel, of humble parents, in utter poverty, and whose heavenly Birth was witnessed by so very, very few. What does this mean? It simply says if we do not keep our eyes open, we will miss everything about Christmas and rather easily, especially its utter holiness! Thus the presence of the Dromdary Man in the narrative poem as well as his utter significance throughout, in helping us see what God wants us to see for Christmas!
See if you agree how the power of God’s grace reaches out in all of our lives and especially for the characters in this authoritatively Catholic Christmas tale to help them live as He wants them to live and love His Presence more.

PREFACE

So often the true meaning of Christmas can escape us and leave many of us dumbfounded. And so this Christmas narrative poem was composed to show that the most significant things in life are quite frequently esoteric also.

For God Himself is a hidden God: born in a remote village of Israel, of humble parents, in utter poverty, and whose heavenly Birth was witnessed by so very, very few. What does this mean? It simply says if we do not keep our eyes open, we will miss everything about Christmas and rather easily, especially its utter holiness! Thus the presence of the Dromdary Man in the narrative poem as well as his utter significance throughout, in helping us see what God wants us to see for Christmas!

See if you agree how the power of God’s grace reaches out in all of our lives and especially for the characters in this authoritatively Catholic Christmas tale to help them live as He wants them to live and love His Presence more.
