MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

A Christmas Way is by Bob Ford. The Magi, the shepherds, Mary and Joseph-what do they have in common? None of them lived in Bethlehem. They had to journey there to witness the miracle of Christ's birth. The Bible is full of people who journeyed. Why is this significant? What can modern-day Christians learn from this? Find the answers in A Christmas Way: The Journeys of Christmas, and allow Dr. Bob Ford to illuminate the many ways the journeys of the Bible can lead you to new paths of discovery in your own Christian journey.
