The Day Christ Was Born: The True Account of the First 24 Hours of Jesus's Life by Jim Bishop

hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

3.75

I loved the mix of history, Bible, and fiction filling this book. Foremost, it is a narrative telling the story of Christ's birth. However, it is filled with historical information during the time, from Jewish marriage traditions to Roman history. It pulls on Biblical tradition as well. I really enjoyed the book, but it is also true that you can't exactly take it as fact. It's an enjoyable story, but there are so many unknown pieces of Christ's birth you cannot try to know exactly what happened through this book. But still a great read for Christmas!
