The Full Christmas Story - Hardback

Danny Haag takes the readers through a chronological order of the full Christmas story. By full, his goal was to use the verses that kept the main part of the Christmas story flowing, excluding some verses that would have added much length but not much more context.

It starts with the angel telling Elizabeth and Zacharias that even though she has been barren, at their very old age, they would have a child. This is important since Mary (soon-to-be Jesus's mother) would come to visit Elizabeth to tell her of Mary's great news. He finishes with the last chapter, which is the most important part of the Christmas story.

He takes you through the Christmas story using the King James Version (KIV). Danny also provided some commentary, for convenience, after each verse.

In his study of the Bible, there usually is much to learn from knowing more about the context of that verse. For example, how serious and dangerous was it that Mary was betrothed (pledged) to Joseph and was going to have a baby that wasn't from Joseph? Who were the wise men (magi), and why did King Herod bring them in a meeting with the chief priests and scribes who didn't like each other? Was Jesus still a baby when the wise men visited Him? Why were sheep (which are animals) referred to as a flock?
