Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manger scenes. The baby Jesus. Mary. Joseph. Shepherds, Wise men, or Magi as some called them. Cows. A donkey. A dog. Angels. A star. One young shepherd boy who heard the angels and visited the blessed stable carved what he had seen (all except the angels that he had never been able to carve) and presented it to the Christ child. Through the years the crèche as some called it, was lost or misplaced or hidden. Legends grew up around it. Some said the baby Jesus had kissed it, thus passing some of his miraculous power into it. Rumor proclaimed that just by touching it to their lips a person could have eternal life. Dawn and Stephen Nicholas wanted desperately to have children, but it was not to be. They decided to invest in a coffee shop in small, but growing and bustling Newnan, Georgia. It had been owned previously by a mysterious, often Santa Claus clad, figure named Ben Bishop who, it was rumored, had been a spy during World War II. Was it possible that during his travels he had somehow found out where the marvelous crèche was hidden and had been the last keeper of that secret? In the reconstruction of their Christmas Coffee Shoppe, Dawn and Stephen stumbled onto something that surprised them and ultimately could change their lives. However, they soon discovered that the same spirit of the same evil King Herod that had massacred the children of Bethlehem in an effort to destroy the Christ child, was alive, was well, was in their town at Christmas and still wanted to destroy the Christ of Christmas. Christmas Day finally arrived and with it came the conclusion of the 2000-year-old mystery in an amazing, angelic crescendo that would wake the whole town. Christmas Crèche-endo is a mystery, action Christmas story that combines many of the elements that make Christmas special. At the end you may find yourself wishing that you could spend a Christmas like that in a town like Newnan. If you ever do, listen for the heavenly music of angels.

Here we see a multi-dimensional, yet internal Francis as the ultimate disciple of Jesus: Francis as sufferer, in the wilderness, as itinerant, as misunderstood, in prayer, as teacher, as lover and protector of the poor, in authority while subject to God's authority, in community, as healer, as wounded.

This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 18th-century Neapolitan crèche at the Art Institute of Chicago, which contains over 200 figures arranged in a panorama of street life, represents the pinnacle of a rich artistic heritage. This luxurious catalogue is the first to study the crèche in the context of art and music history. Essays explore the Neapolitan crèche tradition and examine the design of Chicago's example with reference to other important crèches in Europe and the United States. Entries on individual figures identify the characters and types they represent, as well as their social and historical meaning and religious significance. Other entries address groups of figures, animals, and cultural themes present in the crèche. Together the essays and entries highlight the astonishing realism and potent symbolism of these figures, which range from heavenly angels and the Holy Family around the manger to street vendors and revelers feasting, drinking, and dancing in a tavern.

Book excerpt: Hope is an endangered virtue in today’s chaotic world. Yet Christmas provides us with the inspiring reminder that our true hope lies not in the understanding that people can sometimes be good, but that God, who is good, is also faithful and loves us in our unloveliness and graces us in our gracelessness. In a unique guide for Christian travelers, Scott Mages marries the fascinating story of the figures that surround the infant Jesus in that inescapable seasonal tableau of shepherds and wise men, as told through the bible, folk tales, and art, with reflections on the enduring meanings of each. While addressing Christian curiosities like why so many manger scenes display Joseph with staff and lantern and where in the scripture we can find the ox and ass who preceded Mary in artists’ renditions, Mages leads others through the history of the figures of the crèche and their lessons while offering a spiritual preparation for Christmas. Shared for the curious and pious, lovers of odd facts and forgotten legends, and seekers of more than the glitz that often passes for Christmas, A Place for Jesus guides Christians on an inspiring journey to learn and understand the lessons surrounding the figures of the crèche.
