Christmas: A Gift for Every Heart Hardcover - 2015

From the publisher

Beloved pastor Dr. Charles Stanley takes us back to our truest and best reason for celebration--the birth of Christ. By revisiting the people and events of that first Christmas, Dr. Stanley reveals the unique lessons that long-ago starry night offers to each of us today. Such timeless truths as . . .

• true peace and joy are found only in Christ, not in the things of this world;
• Christmas itself is undeniable evidence that God always keeps His promises;
• the Lord God not only lives and reigns, but He is intimately involved in every circumstance of our lives; and
• the perfect gift for us to give Jesus is the gift of our own heart.

Christmas is a gift to everyone on earth. That gift has different meaning to God--Christ's birth was His perfect plan that unfolded in His perfect time. This message is followed by a celebration of who Jesus is--God came down, reigning King, suffering Servant, Savior of the world--and the lessons learned through His birth from the perspectives of:

• Mary, the virgin mother
• Joseph, faithful and obedient servant of God
• the innkeeper who had no vacancy
• the townspeople who were indifferent to what was happening around them
• the wise men who, by faith, followed the star and brought gifts of genuine worship and adoration
• and Isaiah, looking for the wonderful counselor

Christmas: A Gift for Every Heart is a highly designed Christmas gift book with beautiful callouts, Dr. Stanley's own personal thoughts and memories, Scripture, and four-color photography. This will be a treasured gift for Advent and Christmas that will be read again and again.
