5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Gift, July 14, 2000
This book is a beautiful gift from John Piper. It was an advent poem written for his congregation in Minneapolis. It will touch your heart deeply and then, at the end, the gospel! I have given this book to many as a gift. Buy it for anyone you wish to bless with the gift of Jesus. The illustrations are beautiful sketches by John Lawrence. It may be given as a gift to a child with caution. (read it yourself first and decide.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I expected, January 13, 2007
By S. Samuelson (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was an incredibly short read for me who is usually a slow reader. But the impact was felt long after the cover was closed, and I will return and read it again. Powerfully moving, filling in between the lines of the gospel in an area that the apostles didn't give much detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Innkeepper, January 18, 2009
This is the most wonderful Christmas story I have ever read. EVERY time I read it, tears well up with the reality of how God keeps accurate records, and loves each of us so much. This book is a gift I give all year to those who need encouragement, and to feel the love of God personally!
