Hailed by The Economist as the
"the most influential pastor in America," and by Time
as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, the
bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life
expounds on the profound origins of Christmas, describing it
as an opportune time to welcome peace into our lives.
In his powerful yet compassionate voice, Pastor Rick
Warren sounds the clarion call to "remember the reason for
the season," taking readers back in time to the most
wonderful story of all -- the birth of the baby Jesus. When
he was just a small boy, young Rick asked his parents if
they could celebrate Christmas with a birthday party for
Jesus -- and the tradition began that the Warrens have
upheld for over fifty years. Now through stirring imagery
and compelling personal insights, The Purpose of
Christmas honors the significance and promise of this
cherished holiday. Pastor Warren encourages readers to
identify and confront what drains peace from their lives.
Warren explains that the way to respond to these
peace-robbers is to learn how to surrender to God's will and
not feel defeated or discouraged when life does not go as
planned. True peace of mind is found by having an
unshakeable faith in God -- knowing that his empowering
Spirit will guide his children through life's
challenges. Beautifully written, The Purpose of
Christmas will stir readers to honor the true
significance of Christmas and to nurture God's gifts of love
and peace in this world.
