From Heaven to Earth: Christmas For New Believers, Old Believers, and Nonbelievers
by
Wil Cantrell
Paul Seay
Glenda B. Manning
Discover the truth behind our Christmas traditions with this 5-session study from United Methodist pastors Wil Cantrell and Paul Seay. The authors invite participants to consider the foundational questions about the Christmas story: Did it really happen? And what does it truly mean?
By taking seriously the witness of scripture, the questions of skeptics, and the faith of billions of Christians across thousands of year, Cantrell and Seay provide an in-depth look into what we know about the world of Mary and Joseph from the Biblical record and other historical documents as well as a challenge to consider the difference Jesus’ birth makes for our lives today.
This study includes a DVD, Leader Guide, and Book.
