Christmas from the Back Side: A Different Look at the Story of Jesus Birth

Popular and beloved author J. Ellsworth Kalas presents new insight into the biblical story of Christmas.

Kalas approaches the season through the back side--through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new lens, or the eyes of a minor character.

Kalas's creative approach both clarifies basic teachings and introduces new possibilities of meaning, even for those who are most familiar with the Christmas story.

Enriched with contemporary illustrations and personal experiences, this volume will provide new perspectives.
