Faces Around the Crib / Hardinge, Leslie / (PB/1997-1997/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: This book is new and still in wrapping.*

All the inhabitants of the universe were gathered around His crib in old Bethlehem the night our Lord was born. They were there whether they wanted to be or not. Their intent faces were mirrors of our own. We were there in them, too, silent and absorbed. God was there. In fact, Heaven sent angel choirs to greet the newborn King in baby form and announce His birth to the world. The old dragon was there also, plotting to destroy Him as soon as He was born. The drama of the ages was thus played out with a huge cast, and yet the majority of men and women did not know or care. The author of FACES AROUND THE CRIB studies these characters presented in the Scriptures who touched Him, showing the kind of persons they were He portrays them as highly modern persons who illustrate our lives today with all their strengths, prejudices, and faith. This devotional volume shows why they, acting, the way we do, rose to the occasion and believed or strayed from the path of righteousness.
