The True Meaning of Christmas

“God so loved the world, that He gave up His only-begotten Son, so that those who believe in Him may not perish, but have eternal life.” These famous words of Saint John’s Gospel reveal the true meaning of Christmas.

Simply and reverently, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen meditates upon the Incarnation and Nativity of Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High, born in a lowly stable in Bethlehem of Judah, and the significance it bears and salvation it offers for each man, woman, and child.

Beautifully illustrated by Fritz Kredel, The True Meaning of Christmas offers a joyful greeting to the newborn King of kings and Lord of lords, and makes for fitting Yuletide reading for the whole family.

Hardcover. 32 pages.
