Unwrapping the Christmas Story
It's easy to get wrapped up in a flurry of Christmas activities this time of year.... forgetting Jesus, who is at the center of it all. But Trillia Newbell talks with author Daniel Darling about his book, the Characters of Christmas and the real life people in the Christmas story, from the angels and shepherds to Herod and Jesus himself. He says digging into the Christmas story with fresh eyes during this time of year, can help reveal truths from their lives that impact us today on Living by Faith.
