Product Description

Spiritual beings populate the stories of Scripture. Angels singing. Demons infecting. Heavenly hosts fighting . . . Ignore the armies of God and Satan and you ignore the heart of Scripture. Ever since the snake tempted Eve in Eden, we've known: there is more to this world than meets the eye.

In this classic Christmas novella, best-selling author Max Lucado imagines the spiritual conflict that surrounded the coming of Christ. Surely there was much. If Satan could pre-empt Christ in the cradle, there'd be no Christ on the cross.

Journey back in time to the very throne of God…and witness firsthand the glory, the wonder, and the battle that took place on the very first Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful..., December 13, 2006

By	Dallas Thompson "politicalchick" (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This story is an amazing one, the Christmas story from a completely different focus. Max Lucado is kind and wise, and it shows in this telling.

To the person who said that the book tries to convert people, and that's it's religious... Yes. It's the story of the birth of Christ and the love of God. So, it does certainly have a religious focus - a Christian focus. That's the point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Christmas, December 28, 2005

By	Cindy (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: An Angel's Story (Hardcover)

I recieved this book as a Christmas gift 2 or three years ago. I read it to my daughter all the time. It is a wonderfull version of the Christmas Story through the eyes of the angel Gabriel. Absolutly perfect for young teens, though it may be a bit advanced for very young readers. (You can always read it to them!) Beautiful illustrations, wonderfully written. You don't have to save it until Christmas either, it's a perfect book to read anytime. Not very long, only takes about 10 minutes or so to read. Just fantastic, I can't say enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a Christmas Story!, January 17, 2008

By	Rhonda L. Crews "Rhonda Killen Crews" (Warrensburg MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Max Lucado's AN ANGEL'S STORY captures the story of the birth of Christ Jesus with a new angle; told through the voice of the angel Gabriel. A wonderful story to read at Christmas; however, any time you want to share the story of baby Jesus with young and old alike this is a sweet version. The book is an easy read . . . you can't put it down. Max Lucado, once again, has pierced the heart of this Christian with a simple story told in a new way.
