Welcome to a delightful Christmas story! Simon is a young shepherd in Bethlehem. His family is hosting the Zebedees, including Simon's favorite cousins, James and John. Word arrived that Mary and Joseph had come from Nazareth, and that Mary was going to have a baby! Young Simon had never seen a birth before, but wouldn't that night, either. He was sent out with his cousins and brother, Andrew, to watch the sheep - just so they would stay out of the way! What he did see, though, was an angel. And the angel's message was clear: He should return to Bethlehem so that he could see the new-born and hear Joseph's words of wisdom, well and kindly spoken.

Back Cover The story of the birth of Christ is an intriguing Biblical tale. But there are many details left out. Perhaps to help us study more. For instance, why didn't anyone else around Jerusalem or Bethlehem hear or see the angels when they appeared to the shepherds the night Christ was born? Was Jesus born in a manger because no one had pity on a young pregnant girl from the hills, or did the manger offer a place of privacy for Mary? And why did it take the Eastern visitors almost two years to find the Christ child? The events of the birth of Christ contain several beautiful love stories, at least one mystery, and real humor if looked at from a human perspective. After all, the people involved in the story were not stained-glass Saints, but were, in fact, just ordinary people chosen by God to be direct participants in the beginning of the greatest story ever told... And Nothing's Been the Same Since!
