The
Day Christ was Born
The
True Account of the First 24 Hours of Jesus’ Life
By
Jim Bishop
There
have always been questions about the birth of Christ. Even the apostles
are scarce on the details of what really happened during Joseph
and Mary’s voyage to Jerusalem. What really happened on that
night? What could it have been like? Bishop takes a stab at answering
some of these questions in the deeply moving book, “The Day
Christ was Born.” Written in narrative fashion, Bishop’s
view of the birth of Christ offers a dauntingly real perspective
on the beginning of a new chapter in Christianity. Bishop takes
us on Mary and Joseph’s journey as they deal with the very
real world of living under Herod’s rule, as well as Mary’s
connections with her family and her cousin Elizabeth, soon to be
John the Baptist’s mother.
The
life of Christ has always been a fascinating mystery for me. I love
the fact that, in this book, I can go step-by-step with them and
feel what they might’ve felt. The ideas in this book are only
theory, but they are very realistic and based off of what information,
both biblical and historical, that is available to study. Bishop
has done a masterful job at recreating the first 24 hours of Jesus’
life. Beautiful work. Well done.
