Destined to become a seasonal classic, "The Forgotten Man of Christmas," is the amazing story of the adopted father of Jesus -- the man who stands in the shadows of Mary and the Babe, the shepherds and the Magi, and host of angels. Most of us have favorite Christmas holiday stories that have come down from other family members. "The Forgotten Man of Christmas" is the type of story that will grab readers and give them a new perspective on one of the most important characters in the Christmas saga -- a story that readers will pass on to generations within their own families.

Much of what we know or take for granite about the events surrounding the birth of Jesus is found in a few chapters in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Those few Biblical lines provide us with our view of events. Howard Edington takes us on a journey that spans 2,000 years and opens our eyes to the critical role played by Joseph, the wordly father of the Babe of Bethlehem.

In the pages of this book, you will be part of discovering that during the events surrounding the First Christmas, God spoke directly to Joseph in four separate and critically important dreams. Each of those dreams proved pivotal in the unfolding Christmas events, and Joseph's responses to the dreams are loaded with spiritual insturctions applicable to our own journeys of faith.

As Edington points out, God had all the men in the world from who to pick when He selected a father for Jesus. Yet, when all were considered, it was Joseph he picked. "The Forgotten Man of Christmas" was an incredible man -- not merely a carpenter of Nazareth -- and forgotten no more.
