Every year the story of Christmas is told and retold. But how much of its timeless message is really understood? "The Heart of Christmas" is a compilation of inspiring insights on that great story from six beloved Christian communicators. From Max Lucado's look at the birth of Christ from Joseph's point of view to David Jeremiah's exposition of the relevance of the name of Jesus, each author explores the meaning of Christmas from a different perspective. This is a refreshing gift that will remind readers of the wonder, beauty, and truth of the Christmas story.
