Before Christmas: The Story of Jesus from the Beginning of Time to the Manger by Bill Crowder

Stopped reading at page 14. Very good reference book. I was hoping to read a book that invited the Christmas spirit into my heart and home during the month of December. I found this to be more of a historical background of Christmas, Jesus' genealogical history, and nitpicked details of the Christmas story down to its bare bones. I may try to read this, again, in the future, but not as an Advent devotional.
