Almost a Silent Night

It was indeed “Almost a Silent Night” that Christmas Eve of 1818 at St. Christopher Church in Oberndorf, Austria. Nate Colson shares in poem the true story that inspired Joseph Mohr to write the words of the well-loved Christmas carol “Silent Night,” and the circumstances that led Franz Gruber to write the music for the guitar. This beautifully illustrated storybook truly demonstrates the biblical truth that when all seems lost, God will work things out for those he loves, and inspires to do his special work (Romans 8:28).
