Read how author Barbara Rainey tells of her purpose of writing this book:

"There is a wonderful old hymn which says in part, “I love to tell the story…of Jesus and His love.” That is the essence of Christmas, the yearly retelling of the wonderful story of Jesus and the love that sent Him and compelled Him to come to us. It’s not the holiday itself that I love, but the old, old story that is ever new. And it is my privilege as it is every believer’s, to find new and fresh ways of telling others about Jesus. My hope is that When Christmas Came will lead many to a new understanding of the Bethlehem story and a new of level worship and awe for the Gift that was given."
