With magical pen in hand, C.S. Lewis crafted a beautiful tale filled with mystical places, talking animals, and fierce battles in a land called Narnia. Lewis wrote, "The whole story of Narnia is the story about Christ.

What might have happened? The stories are my answers." In this booklet, Stephen explores the wonderful world of Narnia. The stories of C.S. Lewis are interwoven with biblical themes and spiritual ...

Wir alle lieben Weihnachten. Es gibt all die schönen Bräuche, Rituale aus den verschiedensten Ländern und natürlich die besondere Liebe zum Weihnachtsbaum! Aber: Warum hängen Weihnachtsbäume manchmal verkehrt herum von der Decke? Wieso ist Weihnachten in manchen Ländern verboten? Und überhaupt: Wer bäckt dem Christkind eigentlich die Geburtstagstorte? Dieses Buch ist ein ganz besonderes Weihnachtsbuch.

Warum feiern wir Weihnachten? Weihnachten ist eine Zeit wahrer Freude, doch die wahre Freude entsteht da, wo man erkennt, was Weihnachten wirklich ist, und wo man Den kennt, dessen Geburt wir feiern – Jesus Christus. Wir können Ihn nicht kennen, wenn wir nicht erkennen, dass Er Realität ist. Der Bericht von der Geburt Jesu ist keine Legende. Maria und Joseph waren wirkliche Menschen. Ihr Dilemma des Raummangels in der Herberge war für sie eine große Not und so legten sie das Jesuskind in eine Krippe.

We may receive Divine guidance and inspiration in dreams, just as Joseph did, and like him, find the courage to go against our society's expectations. Like the shepherds, we are welcomed to see the ongoing glorious pageant of God-made-flesh. And finally, we ...
