‘Twas Christmas Night

Come with me on a journey before there was time, and I'll tell you the story of the first Christmas in rhyme. Set to the cadence of the similarly named classic, 'Twas Christmas Night artfully describes all the key events of the Christmas story--the prophets foretelling the coming of the Messiah; the angel appearing to Mary and Joseph; their treacherous journey to Bethlehem; and, of course, the birth of Jesus. However, it goes much further in relating God's redemptive plan, encompassing everything from creation and the fall of humankind to Jesus's life and ministry, death on the cross, and miraculous resurrection. Timeless and touching, 'Twas Christmas Night not only details the actual events of the Bible but also poignantly describes why they matter, reinforcing the idea that God loves each of His children and wants a relationship with them. Masterfully illustrating why Christmas is still relevant two thousand years later, each beautifully woven couplet presents a promise and a reminder of the endurance of God's love. With the warmth and familiarity of a Christmas classic that will engage the entire family, along with stunning, hand-painted illustrations, this book tells the most important story ever told.
