The Birth [Paperback]

Gene Edwards (Author)

Book Description

Series: Chronicles of Heaven | Publication Date: January 1, 1991

Read the story of Christ's birth from a whole new vantage point...from the viewpoint of Heaven. The Birth is the third in the series. The Chronicles of heaven written by the beloved storyteller Gene Edwards.
The Birth has become the most popular rendering of the Bethlehem story. The drama begins in the eternals. Just before the birth of John the Baptist, the skies had turned to brass. Michael and Lucifer battle in an unforgettable duel, as Michael rips open the brass to allow the prayers of Elizabeth to ascend to the throne. From that point on, the story never lets up. An edge-of-your-seat saga of the Christmas story like you have never read!
The Birth gives us insight into the deepest mysteries of the Christian faith, a glance into the eternals, and a full revealing of God's eternal purpose as disclosed in the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Like the Usual Story, November 30, 2000

By 

M. S. Harrsion (Fairfield, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Birth (Chronicles of the Door #2) (Paperback)

This is a terrific story, placed in a prospective where characters come to life that you knew existed in the lives of the main characters but never came to know until Gene Edwards brought them to life in story. It is like seeing God's plan come into fruition before your eyes. Even a small child can comprehend the awesomeness of God as it is being read to them. It brings relationships between people into view that are so natural and normal that it makes you feel you are a part of story, like a friend standing right there in the midst of all the events. Mr. Edwards carrys an anointing that most good writers can't even imagine exist.

I have read this series years before and gave it away to pass on to others.... it's worth the read again. So, I am very happy to have found the entire series on Amazon!
Gene Edwards is a master story teller and it's easy to believe what he writes as true.... or could be. The angels' words, actions and emotions are so belivable. I love the way Gene Edwards writes, all his books are so vital.
