My First Message: The Christmas Story
Eugene H. Peterson’s paraphrased version of the Bible, The Message , was a huge bestseller. Now NavPress is offering several of the stories from The Message paraphrase in the form of children’s books. The Christmas Story is one of those offerings. The book begins with Luke 1, when an angel visits Zachariah to tell him he’ll soon have a son named John. We read about the angel visiting Mary, about Mary and Elizabeth visiting each other, and about John’s birth. The next chapter covers Luke 2, where Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem, and baby Jesus is born. The angel speaks to the shepherds and they visit the Christ child. The book closes with Matthew 2, where the wise men visit first king Herod, then baby Jesus in his parent’s house
