A short, engaging, evangelistic book, looking at the songs sung at the first Christmas
Music is everywhere at Christmas—chart-toppers, carols, children's tunes… Alistair Begg takes us to four songs that were sung by people at the very first Christmas (and his favorite carol).
In this short, winsome book a teenage girl, a respected priest, a group of angels and an old man bring readers to the heart of Christmas, showing them the joy and peace that comes from meeting a baby who lay in the food trough and changed eternity.
This short, engaging, evangelistic book is perfect for giving away to non-Christian friends, family and church guests.

A wonderful treat! Like sipping coffee, with familiar--and some new--Christmas music playing in the background, while a best friend explains what it actually means. So sit down for a while with Alistair Begg. By the time you get up you will understand why, from the very beginning, people have written songs about Christmas and wanted to sing them. And you may have received the best Christmas present ever!
