Born on Christmas Day, Brad Wilcox has always had a special love for Christmas. Everyone knows that the season has become commercialized and saturated by the demands of political correctness. But, as Brad writes, “No matter how many try to take Christ out of Christmas…it will always and forever be about the Messiah in a manger”.Because of the Messiah in a manger, we can feel and share His pure love. Because of Him, we have access to grace, immortality, and eternal life. Because of the Messiah in a manger, we follow the star, hear the angels sing, and celebrate the Light of the World at Christmas and always.This warm, conversational book will enhance your celebration of the Christmas season as you discover ways Christ began to fulfill His divine mission right from the moment of His humble birth. Whether a gift to a loved one or to yourself, this is the perfect read to curl up by the fire and embrace the Christmas spirit. Join with shepherds, wise men, angels, and other witnesses throughout the ages who have testified of the Christ in a cradle, the Messiah in a manger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17317,"template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_eb_attr":"","inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[35],"product_cat":[65,927],"product_tag":[1084],"class_list":{"0":"post-17316","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-deseret-book","7":"product_cat-atonement","8":"product_cat-christmas-at-fairmormon","9":"product_tag-202204inventoryconfirmed","10":"product_shipping_class-united-states","11":"pa_writer-wilcox-brad","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
