Searching for Christmas: What If There's More to the Story Than You Thought?

“Just as Isaiah wrote to a people walking in darkness, J.D. Greear walks through four names that Isaiah prophesied of the coming Savior, showing those who have walked through the dark year of 2020 that Jesus is what we are searching for this Christmas. This heartfelt and, at times, humorous little book is a great way to share the gospel clearly and powerfully with those who have yet to believe in Jesus and with the nominal Christians in your life.”

“I love this book. Here is a winsome, wise, and gospel-centered book about Christmas by a seasoned storyteller. Using Isaiah’s prophecy of Jesus, Greear shows us that in the heart of everyone is a longing that only Jesus can satisfy. This Christmas, buy this book and give it to those you love: you’ll be glad you did. ”

“J.D. Greear tells the Christmas story in an engaging, enlightening, exciting fashion that will put you in the Christmas spirit. A fantastic Christmas gift! ”

“It’s easy to think that we understand the Christmas story. Bethlehem, star, baby in an animal pen, wise men. Check. Check. We’ve heard it all before… but so what? This little book, full of wisdom and understanding, will tell you why you should care. Take a moment and read it. You may be surprised. And your life may be changed. ”

“Quite simply the most moving Christmas book I have ever read. Profound questions get posed: Is there a God? Where do I find help? What has he done for me? What is he like? And with each answer I found my heart was deeply touched. ”

“The Christmas hymn ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ has us sing this prayer: ‘be born in us today.’ Truly nothing is greater at Christmastime than the reality that the same baby who was born in the manger is changing hearts and lives two thousand years later. This little book will introduce you to the real meaning of Christmas. ”

“This wonderful book shows us the One that Christmas is all about, and how he is all you will ever need, now and forever. ”

“In Searching for Christmas, J.D. takes us beyond cultural celebrations and traditions, and guides us back to the true heart of Christmas. He refocuses our hearts on the astounding love that God demonstrated by sending his Son to this earth. Put simply, if you are overwhelmed by the chaos of Christmas, this book will help you.” ”

“Whether you are someone who is searching for answers to the big questions of life, or a new follower of Christ, or a seasoned believer, this funny and accessible book will point you to rich truths that are older than time but as pertinent as ever. ”

“Most of the Western world shuts down every year on December 25th. J.D. Greear shares what Christmas REALLY means. And his excellent explanation might just surprise you. ”

“J.D. unpacks the longings each of us feel around Christmastime, unearthing the questions we all ask deep down and pointing to answers. I highly recommend this! ”
