Ian Strachan has done the Christian world a great service with these meditations. This is a distinctive contribution to the devotional literature of the Christmas season. The meditations which can be dipped into at leisure or used consecutively, are thoroughly biblical, full of lovely insights and entirely relevant to Christian living today.

This inspirational presentation of the events surrounding the birth of our Lord provides a wonderful Advent season devotional. With clarity and consistency, Ian helps us to see with fresh eyes “the wonder of it all.” Prepare to be encouraged and uplifted!

The Birth of Christ is one of the most widely celebrated events in history but also one of the least understood. This book provides much needed background to the serious seeker of insight. The familiar story comes to life and will cause one to pause and ponder.

Dr Gary Stephens
(Mercy Ships – Lindale, Texas)

Strachan takes us deep into the wonderfully rich world of Christmas as it was but he is not content to leave us there. For him and for us there is always the return journey laden with spiritual treasures for a world in desperate need of the Christ who has come and will come again.
