Through Their Eyes: 40 Days of Celebrating the Birth of Jesus Through the Eyes of the First Christmas People

Experience the first Christmas through the eyes of those who were there. You will start in the Holy Place with Gabriel as he delivers God’s message to Zechariah and soar with him to the agricultural village of Nazareth. Travel with Mary to the hill country of Judea. Ride a donkey into Bethlehem as Joseph and Mary register for the census. Climb the temple steps as Mary performs the ritual rites of purification then escape to Egypt as the new parents flee from Herod’s wrath. You will travel with the shepherds as they seek the Savior, and you will follow a star as it hangs above the head of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. This journey will take you forty days, but the final destination is well worth the road trip. Your pilgrimage will take you onto your knees as you bow before the One who sacrificed all for you. Dear Reader, Thanks for reading along. I pray you have drawn closer to the True Reason for this Season. I hope these forty days have proofed your faith and you can say without a doubt that God still answers prayers, His time of waiting has a purpose, and Jesus still comes into the messiness and darkness of our lives. Many missed that first Christmas. Herod held onto his kingship too tightly and missed worshipping the True King of Israel. Caesar Augustus was too infatuated with his power to ever worship another King. The people of Bethlehem were too busy to stop and worship. My warning: Slow down, humble yourselves, and worship the True King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Join me at www.unearthingtheeternityseed.com for discussions each day during these forty days of Christmas. The profits from this book will go to a ministry that is very dear to me and my husband. We sit on the board of IAMNOT4GOTTEN Ministries. The insert is picture and a short bio of a child we help sponsor in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All I ask is that you would pray for the child in your copy of this book. Their lives are hard and devastating. They so desperately need a prayer warrior like you. If you bought this book online and would like to become a prayer warrior, please message me at the above address and I will send you a child to pray for. Kellye Jones
