Well, I have to say that this is a very handsome book.

The illustrations, the creative direction, they're excellent.

And it's a hardcover book, cloth bound.

It is clear to me that your desire was for this to remain in families and to be passed down.

And there's a lot in this book, as you just alluded to.

It has quotes on Christmas and the Incarnation from Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, R.C.

Sproul, of course, quotes from Christmas carols.

You retell the Christmas story as you trace the seed through the Old Testament.

And you include scripture readings covering the Christmas story in three acts, promise, fulfillment, and reflection.

There is more which we'll get to.

But how do you describe this book when someone asks you?

You mentioned children, and there's a lot of nostalgia when it comes to Christmas.

It's easy for us to think of Christmas as the most wonderful time of the year.

But why can Christmas be a sad time for some people, whether Christian or an unbeliever?

So just explain for our listeners, how does Jesus, the Son of God, bring peace between God and man?

I love this line from you, Dr. Nichols.

You say, according to the Apostle Paul's account, this infant, this is Jesus, this infant created all things.

This infant created his own manger.

And this infant, this king, brings peace on earth, ultimate and permanent peace.

Hopefully Christians think about the Incarnation often.
