Here we meet the people of the original Advent. We share Anna s bewilderment upon hearing her daughter will bear a Son. We feel Joseph s anguish as he sees a pregnant Mary for the first time. We ride on camelback with wise but uncertain Balthasar, seeking answers in a star. We witness Herod s thunderous rage and malevolent silence as he forms a murderous scheme.\nThese and other scripture figures become powerfully and often triumphantly real as they respond to God s plan. Each chapter includes thoughtful questions, prayers, and suggested actions that resonate with our own experiences.\nTold with imagination and verve and yet always faithful to the Scripture, this brilliant narrative captivates from the start, as we recognize something of ourselves in each story.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1585959189\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1585959189.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marci Alborghetti\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43224647827517,"sku":"BVV.1585959189.VG","price":9.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1585959189-0.jpg?v=1779485409","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/people-of-the-nativity-living-the-christmas-story-then-and-now","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
