The Birth: The Birth

What happened in heaven when Christ was born on earth?

In The Birth, Gene Edwards offers a deeply imaginative and reverent retelling of the nativity, unfolding the story of Jesus' coming through the eyes of angels, shepherds, kings, and ordinary people caught up in the greatest moment of history.

Beginning in the heavenly realm, where Michael and Gabriel sense that "the fullness of time" has arrived, Edwards weaves a sweeping narrative that moves between heaven and earth. Birth_edited_9780940232969_book...
