Narrado por: Rick Renner

There's more to this story than you've been told.

Is there more about the story of Christmas you wish you understood or that you have specific questions about? In this storybook of biblical truth and history, Rick Renner takes you on the magical journey of Christ's coming to earth as a baby—and the purpose of his coming—in a way you’ve probably never heard it before.

Christmas — the Rest of the Story tells the spellbinding story of God’s plan to redeem mankind—from the angel’s pronouncement to the virgin Mary, and her espousal and marriage to Joseph all the way to the angels’ glorious heralding of the Savior’s birth and his young, "ordinary" life marked by God Almighty’s extraordinary plan.

Some of the topics covered include:

• Why God chose Mary
• Why angels viewed God in the flesh with such wonderment
• Who were the "shepherds keeping watch" and the Magi?
• What was the value of the Magi’s famous gifts?
• A baby-dedication ceremony of all ceremonies!
• Why King Herod was so troubled by this historical birth?
• The humility of the Creator’s death.
• How to prepare for Jesus’ next coming.

This book is sure to be a favorite family book in your home, perhaps for generations to come! Jesus’ birth, life, sacrificial death, and glorious resurrection is truly the greatest story on earth — but it has never been more uniquely told than in these chapters written by Rick Renner.

a lot of repetition

The author repeated a lot of the information numerous times in short order. however, the information is great and worth the listen.

new interesting knowledge

This gives a greater appreciation for the Christmas story I highly recommend 15 word min

Amazing insights!!

Going back to the original Greek of the New Testament, plus using other reliable sources, Renner adds depth & connects the dots to enrich the greatest story ever told!
Listening to the audible version, waiting for the book to arrive. Renner reads with passion & enthusiasm.

The best, most important, most powerful, most compelling, most complete, most beautiful telling of what happened at Christmas

I love everything about this book from start to finish. It is well researched and well explained. It is delightful to me as a Christian and a must read/listen for both believers and unbelievers who want to know what and who Christ and Christmas are really all about.

All the details we never hear

I am so thankful that Pastor Renner took the time to research and follow each thread of the Christmas story. I loved hearing the words of historians and later church leaders explaining things we just don’t talk about anymore, with the story of Jesus’s birth. It is an excellent read.

Great Story!!

Wonderful details of the Magi, Herod, and the flight into Egypt! Excellent book! Thank you!

Love this book!

I loved everything about this book! I learned so much about the story of Christmas and all the history behind it. The author spoke like a loving father to his audience and I appreciated that. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

bridging the gap between his birth and his sacrifice.

The book helped me fill in the gaps of the story of Jesus’s childhood, bridging the gap between his birth and his sacrifice. The research for this work also sheds light on the background of Joseph and Mary’s blood line that fulfilled prophecy.

So much new information

I loved the book. It was recommended to me by my pastor because I have theological issues with Christmas and it provided so much new information that I will never forget anytime. I think of the Christmas story but it still did not address. The timing of Jesus's birth and why we celebrated on December 25th. I'm still perplexed considering that that is pagan. That is the date that pagan's considered the birthdate of their gods and the Bible tells us not to take things have pagan and try to make them our own and I feel like that's what we've done with Christmas.We've taken pagan, a pagan holiday to.Their god and just celep the name of our god on it and that would be taking our god's name in vain
