Jesus is Born is the retold story of the first Christmas by Sophie Piper.
No story is more beloved or more told than the story of the first Christmas.
Jesus is Born reflects the Gospels of Luke and Mathew beginning with the announcement to Mary, by the angel Gabriel, to the miraculous birth of Christ in the little town of Bethlehem.
The illustrations by Anne Yvonne Gilbert are as beautiful as the story.
Sophie Piper’s text closely echoes the language of the Gospels in retelling the traditional sequence of the Bible story and even notes where different parts of the Christmas story can be found within the Bible.
The good news of Jesus’ birth is brought to life.
Like the wisemen who came bearing gifts to the baby Jesus, Jesus is Born is a great gift for grandparents and parents who want to keep faith close during the holiday season.
The story of the first Christmas never grows old.
For on that day – ‘Jesus is Born’
