If you want to find a book, which is uplifting and joyful during this particular year's Christmas season, this book is for you. In this book, the author invites you into two worlds: the biblical world of the nativity, rich with its diverse supporting cast, and the modern world packed with busy pilgrims in search of Christmas joy. Come and meet a peasant girl named Mary, a common carpenter named Joseph, some scruffy shepherds, and the so-called wise men. Then join the journeys of an unlikely trio: Linda, who had every reason to be happy but felt a nagging emptiness; Stuart, a Vietnam vet who wrestled mightily with poverty and guilt; and Vivian, whose battle with grief had left her weary and alone. Can these three find new joy in the warm embrace of friendship and the rebirth of faith and hope? Their journeys tell the story.
