Endorsements

We usually watch the Christmas story unfold from the outside looking in, as we see Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, and then the wise men all arrive in Bethlehem. But what would it have looked like to be on the inside? Katy Morgan’s The Promise and the Light helps young readers imagine what it might have felt like for Mary and Joseph. And it leaves us hoping there will be a sequel describing what happened next!

Sinclair B. Ferguson Teaching Fellow of Ligonier Ministries; Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary

Fed up with school nativities and sentimental Christmas cards? Then The Promise and the Light is for you. It’s a fantastic retelling of the Christmas story from the perspective of those who witnessed it first-hand. It’s historically informed and beautifully reimagined. The result is an engrossing tale through which the message of Jesus shines.

Tim Chester Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God

Employing the voices of Mary, Joseph and Zechariah, Katy Morgan creates a lovely personal retelling of the Christmas narrative, carefully evoking the time and the place, and tying all that happens into God’s big story. Wonderful!

Bob Hartman Author, The Kingdom and the King Storybook Bible and YouVersion's Bible App for Kids

As the mom of young readers, I’m always looking for books that stir their imagination while also pointing them to the Scriptures. This is such a book! The Promise and the Light is a wonderful retelling of the Christmas story through the eyes of the biblical characters. If you’re looking for a family read-aloud this Christmas, or for a book for your kids to read for themselves, this book captures the wonder of Christmas while retaining the power of the biblical narrative.

Courtney Reissig Author of Teach Me to Feel and Glory in the Ordinary

I can’t wait to read this book aloud with my kids this Advent. As a dad, I love the engaging narrative, alternating perspectives, and fleshing-out of Christmas truths to provoke curiosity. As a pastor, I love the notes in the back that give the bones of biblical truth and historical facts that give substance to the project. How critical, in a world of fairy tales, with many good ones on our shelves, that we drive home for our kids that this story is not make-believe. Katy unveils the truth and beauty of Christmas—both for our kids and for their parents.

David Mathis Executive Editor at desiringGod.org and author of Habits of Grace

Fire your imagination with this story full of wonder, amazement, confusion and shock as you look through they eyes of Mary, Joseph and Zechariah at the first Christmas.

5.00 stars Thoroughly delightful.

 

A beautifully written book. A wonderful reminder and unfolding of God's promises about his Messiah from the point of view of the primary witnesses.
I've enjoyed reading it to my children during this season of Advent. If their nightly reminder is any indication, I think they've also enjoyed listening along.

We were looking for a giveaway book for teens in our community. This fit the bill really well.

5.00 stars Brings the real Christmas to life

 

Absolutely brilliant retelling of the Christmas story for both kids and grown ups. We laughed out loud with Boaz the donkey, and cried alongside Joseph and Mary. It brings the Christmas story home in a very real and understandable way. We especially valued the way it ties the NT events to the OT prophecies, and the questions at the back. Utterly brilliant. Made me realise afresh how scandalous Jesus' birth was. The only slight hesitation I would flag is that Mary having a baby in her tummy without Joseph, raises all kinds of questions which some parents might prefer not ...
