In the mystery of Christmas we find its majesty.
The mystery of how God became flesh, why he chose to come, and how he must love his people.
Such mysteries can never be solved, just as Love can never be diagrammed.
Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but with imagination.

This review is from: The Max Lucado Christmas Collection: The Christmas Child, the Christmas Candle & Cosmic Christmas (Audio CD)
Max Lucado is a versatile writer of both nonfiction and fiction titles. His excellent ability to vividly expound upon scripture and to tell a riveting story is marvelous. This Christmas collection contains three of his excellent fiction works. Each story is read by a very talented narrator. The best narrations are Tom Dooley's rendition of "Cosmic Christmas," and Greg Whalen's reading of "The Christmas Candle."
1. "The Christmas Child": This poignant story tells of a young man whose marital problems prompt him to seek an escape. After receiving a mysterious postcard, he is drawn to a church building in Clearwater, Texas. An unusual Nativity Scene is the catalyst that launches the young man into an unforgettable journey of self-discovery. This is a beautiful tale of redemption told in a compelling manner. I cried as I lsitend; something I rarely ever do. 2. "Cosmic Christmas": Was the birth of our Savior a quiet, picturesque scene with gentle animals and a serene mother and child: a "silent night"? Far from it! This suspense-laden, riveting account of Christ's birth, (told from Gabriel's perspective), will keep listener's spellbound. Gabriel is entrusted with delivering God's precious seed to a young virgin girl. However, Satan, the cunning and deveius enemy of God, will stop at nothing to destroy the Seed and the young girl that carries it. 3. "The Christmas Candle": Set in the English village of Gladstone in 1864, this humorous yet poignant story tells of a mysterious angelic visitation that occurs every 25 years and the candles that are blessed by his touch. When an accident occurs on the night of the final angelic visit, the old couple who keep the candle shop must decide what to do. Whose life will be changed? The skeptical new minister? The farmer suffering from life-threatening headaches, or the candlemaker and his wife themselves? This collection is truly magnificent. Please give it a chance. God bless you all and Merry Christmas.

The best Christmas story EVER!!!!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Max Lucado Christmas Collection (Hardcover)
I've only read The Angel Story but this is by far the best Christmas story ever. It's a story about how God's angels went to Mary to tell her she would give birth to God's Son and how the devil tried to stop them. Then the angels stay with Mary and protect her until Jesus is born. It makes a great story to read to others.
