Marys First Christmas
$13.73
We have all seen the story of the birth of Jesus portrayed at Christmas. It is a beautiful story, and we never tire of watching each scene unfold. “Mary’s First Christmas” is the story of the birth of our Savior as described through the eyes of Joseph and Mary. We may gain insight from them as they picture for us the adversity as well as the joy and excitement they experienced from the time of the angel’s appearance to the wondrous birth of God’s Son.
We catch a glimpse of the awe that Mary felt upon Gabriel’s announcement, of the joy she shared with Elizabeth and Zechariah as they awaited the miraculous birth of their own son. We see Joseph’s apprehension at Mary’s announcement, and how then after seeing the angel in a dream commits his life to God as Jesus’ earthly father. We can feel the excitement of the taxing journey to Bethlehem for the census, the fear and hope they felt, even to Joseph’s naming of the little donkey who carried the King of the Ages on his back…”Rocky”, in memory of the sometimes rocky and dangerous path they followed.
We see some of the sensations they felt with their description of the camp fires, the sheep for sacrifice, the beautiful stars in the night sky, and then the discouragement of finding no room upon reaching their destination. But God was always with them, and because of His grace, we know today what they did not yet understand…that this wonderful child, born in a stable, the very Son of God, would bring salvation to a sinful and lost world.

God Of All Things
$19.99Abstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.
Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.
