The Strangers At The Manger PDF Download

Are you ready to take a trip back in time? Strangers at the Manger encourages your imagination to grow with possibility as the biblical story of Jesus' birth is revisited. This is a fresh new way to look deeper into the characters and the journey surrounding the coming of God's Son. A master storyteller ponders the wondrous possibilities that could have been part of God's gift at Bethlehem's stable. [ Who may have loaned Joseph his donkey? [ Who befriended Mary and Joseph on their journey? [ Did Mary have a midwife who helped with the birth? [ Who was baby Jesus' first uninvited visitor? [ Have you ever thought of Jesus as a refugee? [ What was life like in Egypt for the holy family? [ How did Jesus escape Herod's wrath? Always true to God's holy Word, yet wonderfully inquisitive about what might have been, you will never hear the Advent story in quite the same way again. J.T. JONES takes the birth narrative and weaves a colorful story of possibilities. A dairy farmer turned pastor, Jones has intimate knowledge of Scripture's agrarian context. He understands shepherds, sheep, cows, stables, mangers, and people. The author's wit combines a deep reverence for God's Word with a splendid curiosity about what may have taken place. Author of numerous articles and This Day, A Daily Devotional, J.T. Jones also serves as Senior Pastor of a thriving church.
