Description

A humorous introduction to Christianity by Rico Tice and Nate Morgan Locke which invites readers to look at the presents under God’s tree. They’ll discover some very different things about God, about themselves and about Christmas, and how Jesus really is everything they could ever hope for.

This page-turner is accessible for those who have never heard the gospel before, and gripping for those who think they have heard it all before. Ideal for giving away to friends and family as a gift, and cheap enough for churches to buy to give out at services this December (bulk deals available).

Buy it, read it, give it away!

Behind the expensive Christmas is a generous God and this little book leads to the riches  of Christ. If you know Christ, then buy this for others who don't—if you want to know Christ, then buy it for yourself.

Immediately engaging, this excellent little book will take you to the very heart of Christmas.

Rebecca Manley Pippert

Compelling, creative and clear, this is a wonderful Christmas book for believers to enjoy and then to give as a gift to seekers and skeptics. The theological underpinnings are sound, without being dry or preachy.

“written in a personable and relatable way...”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

A great book to give to a non Christian friend to get them to think about the best gift they could ever receive. It's written in a personable and relatable way.

“The Best Christmas Book”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

As an Evangelist I read many books that focus on sharing the gospel, many fail to clearly present the message of Jesus in a engaging and truthful manner. This book, however, is brilliant! It is clear, engaging and faithful to the gospel. If you want a non-Christians to understand the good news, then give them a copy of this book.

“excellent”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

An excellent book. Short, good to read and lays out the gospel clearly and unflinchingly. Highly recommended.

“Excellent, very well written”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

We put several of these books on our reception table at our mums and toddlers group. Obviously I read it first! I liked the presentation of the book "cover" and thought the way the chapters were presented (little gift tags) was novel and it appealed! Two of our books were taken and hopefully read. Have kept the others for next year.The content was spot on! Thank you.

Excellent!

“A warm and clear presentation of the good news of Christmas!”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

What a gem of a book! The chapters are short but comprehensive and I loved the way each started with some sort of illustration to draw the reader in - this gave it the feel of a cosy chat with a friend.
Having said that, the book pulls no punches, presenting the gospel message clearly, concisely and compellingly.
We purchased 100 of these to be given away at our evangelistic Christmas events but I also recommend it to believers who wish to refresh their focus during the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season.

“A good little book”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

“A pause to find meaning for Christmas”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

If you find yourself , getting overtaken by the Christmas madness; this book is for you. It is a quick read but a long ponder which will re focus your brain to seek the true meaning of Christmas. Highly recommended

“CHRISTMAS MESSAGE CLEARLY PRESENTED”

(Review written for 'A Very Different Christmas')

The book gives a clear presentation of the meaning of Christmas using the Trinity as the foundation. However, I could not help feeling as I read the illustrations that this book is limited to a middle class readership.

I bought 100 copies to bring with me on mission to the Kenyan coast but on second thoughts felt it was not right for this audience. I would be reluctant to use on social housing door to door work.

Having said that I will of course make sure that many of my non Christian and atheist friends get a copy. This is certainly a thought provoking presentation of the Gospel message and gets the Christmas message over with clarity.

“Great book”

I loved this book. The setting of Christmas round the tree was lovely but the way it brought the message of God's love for us and the gifts we receive from the trinity to the forefront of our thoughts was so well done. It was easy to read and wonderfully written. I would recommend to anyone and it will be one I reread again and again.
