Of all the people in all the earth--kings, nobles, religious leaders--the Lord God chose the lowest class of people to hear the highest of announcements, the announcement that the world had been waiting to hear for thousands of years. Finally, the promised Messiah was here.
This is the story of that announcement, described by a shepherd who was there. With fear, awe, and tremendous joy, the lowly shepherds listened to the angel's message and marveled that their long-awaited Savior was born. Join the shepherds as they hear the amazing news and race to the manger to kneel before the Christ Child. Told in delightful, narrative, and charming pictures, The Shepherd's Christmas Story will be a family favorite for years to come. Recommended for ages 6 to 10.
