Why Nativity by David Jeremiah
(Based on the major motion picture, The Nativity Story)

This book offers 25 reasons why we celebrate nativity. Every year, millions of people around the world celebrate Christmas. But what does it all mean?

• Why did God choose a young virgin named Mary and a simple carpenter named Joseph to bring his only Son into the world?
• Why was the Son of God born in a lowly manger in a small town called Bethlehem?
• Who was this infant named Jesus that the prophecies foretold would save the world from sin and suffering?
• And what does the nativity story mean for us today?

A Simple Christmas: Twelve Stories That Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit by Mike Huckabee
(Book and Audio Book Available)

The former Arkansas governor recounts twelve Christmas memories -- often funny, sometimes deeply moving -- that range from his childhood in Arkansas to his years as a young husband and father, to his time as a governor and then a presidential candidate. These true stories will help you smile, take a deep breath, and maybe slow down your own holiday treadmill.

The Twelve Blessings of Christmas by T. J. Mills

This whimsical quick-read offers snapshots and suggestions to help you recognize, understand, and reinforce the blessings of Christmas. You'll even find some tempting recipes for holiday goodies, such as buckeyes and ice box cookies. This book would be a great selection for a young family seeking to slow down and enjoy time with the kids.

The Twelve Ways of Christmas by David Jeremiah

Every year, we strive to make this Christmas the best ever. Then we decorate and bake and shop, and end up wearing ourselves out -- just like last year. And in the midst of our plans, we struggle to capture the essential purpose of the holiday. We forget that real Christmas joy begins in our hearts, in quiet moments of meditation and worship.
