Because of Bethlehem – Max Lucado

Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas so you can fully enjoy Gods blessings this holiday season.

For some, Christmas is a time of excitement, celebration, and quality time with loved ones. For others, its full of loneliness, grief, and loss. JoinNew York Timesbestselling authorMax Lucado as he unwraps the enduring promises of Christmas and discovers a lifetime of hope, all because of one baby born in Bethlehem.

Its easy to lose sight of the remarkable story of Christmas. We forget that a king ordered a census, Joseph was forced to travel, Mary bounced on a donkeys back, the hotel was full, the hour was late, and the event was one big hassle. Yet, out of that hassle, hope was born.

InBecause of Bethlehem, Max invites you to look at the Christmas story from a different perspective. He reminds you that Christmas is about more than a pretty tree with presents piled up underneath it. Christmas begins what Easter celebrates: the child in the cradle who goes on to become the King on the cross. Because of Bethlehem, you have a place on earth and a Savior in heaven.

In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, Max will give you the encouragement, advice, and tools you need to:

• Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas
• Receive the promises of the Christmas season
• Lay down your endless Christmas to-do list and trust what Jesus has already done
• Heal your heartache by embracing the God who is always near you, always for you, and always with you

Because of Bethlehemalso includes an Advent Devotional Guide designed to help you reflect on the miracle of Christs birth and the promise of his return.

As you curl up in a comfortable spot and take a closer look at the wild and wonderful story of Bethlehem, may you find enduring faith for all seasons of your life. No matter what this season holds for you, rest in the truth that the promise of Christmas has the power to bring you a lifetime of hope and healing.
