CHRISTMAS
FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE
Take a look at Christmas from alternative angles.
Using an approach similar to his other “Back Side” books, Kalas crafts new insights into the scriptures of the Christmas story by looking at them from the “back side” –
…taking unique starting points…creative re-telling from different views…examining the story through new “lenses”…or looking through the eyes of a not-so-familiar character.
Book session titles include:
The Scandal of Christmas
Three Votes for an Early Christmas
Christmas Comes to a Back Fence
How the Government Helped the First Christmas Happen
Celebrating Christmas in a Hotel
Christmas Comes to a Church
Christmas and the Impossible Dream
