‘Twas Christmas Night goes all the way back to creation and the fall of humankind and tells the story of God’s redemptive plan.  This story summarizes, in a few short lines, how the prophets foretold the coming of the Messiah, how the angel appeared to Mary and Joseph, their journey to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, His life and ministry, death on the cross and resurrection from the dead.  Even deeper than the telling of the actual events of the Bible, it explains why these events matter. It tells the reader that God loves them and wants a relationship with them and why Christmas is still relevant two thousand years after it occurred.  With vibrant and captivating illustrations that will engage the entire family and a rhyme with the familiarity and warmth of a Christmas classic, this book tells the most important story that has ever been told.

As a pastor for fifteen years with a master’s degree in Christian apologetics, I am always looking for ways to share the message of the gospel in a way that engages our current culture.  Since I was a young teen, I have been writing poetry and music as an expression of my faith.  Now as a father of three children, I am always looking for ways to pass on our faith to our children.  This project combines my theological training, artistic talents and experience as a father into one book designed to engage both children and their parents in a creative and timely way with a timeless message.
