It can be a helpful reference guidebook to finding spiritual solutions to everyday problems. I found this book easy to read but you must always have a bible at hand to look up scripture passages. This book was just okay for me, it was not what I was hoping to find with this type of book. I do recommend that others may really enjoy this book and might want to give it a try.

The writer Stephen Mitchell did a wonderful job of combining biblical history with his own view of how the Nativity may have taken place with emphasis being placed on Mary (Maryam) and Joseph (Yosef) instead of the traditional Christian focus being baby Jesus. While being respectful to Christians the story was more how the Annunciation and the visitation of the angels might have been seen by non-Christians which I found very interesting and the author would also give informative breakdowns of what his views were based upon. The part I enjoyed the most was probably the animals having their own introspective views. This was a well-written book and enjoyable read for any faith so all-in-all it was a good Christmas book that I would recommend to readers.
