In the mystery of Christmas we find its majesty. The mystery of how God became flesh, why he chose to come, and how he must love his people. Such mysteries can never be solved, just as Love can never be diagrammed. Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but with imagination.

β¦ Synopsis
A Heartwarming Collection of Christmas Stories and Reflections from Max Lucado
These storiesοΏ½like your favorite Christmas ornamentsοΏ½come in all shapes and sizes. They unfold in a variety of settings, from ancient Bethlehem to rural England. From a small Texas town to the heavenly realms. Some are short. Others many chapters long. Some offer reflections.

Yet all are vintage Lucado, and all resonate with the wonder of the season.
