Description:
Travel with teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan to the land of Israel to discover fascinating truths about the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Hunch within the dank, sooty mouth of a cave much like the one in which Jesus was born. See true mangers, hewn not of lumber, but from solid blocks of rock. Your journey begins, though, not in these shadows of squalor, but at the shining heights of power and opulence: Herod's palace. Its ruins will astound you with their sheer magnitude. Ray Vander Laan weaves the archaeological evidence with biblical teachings and the historical record to contrast two kings: Herod and Jesus. The True Christmas Story is strikingly relevant, packed with faith-building truths, and sure to speak to your heart well beyond the Christmas season.
