What’s the first thing you think of when I say Mary, the mother of Jesus? I expect quite a variety of responses. What made her betrothed Joseph so special that God chose him to be Jesus’s stepdad? Why Zachariah and Elizabeth for John’s parents? How about the shepherds? Why did God choose them to be the first people to spread the news about Jesus’s birth?
The only thing they had in common is they were all just common, everyday folks born at the time the prophesied messiah came. Whenever we place someone mentioned in the Bible on a pedestal, we twist their station in life to a realm that’s much higher than it should be. God has always used ordinary people to do his work because that’s all he has to choose from.
Join me as we step into their sandals in the Christmas devotional book titled The Extra Ordinary Christmas. How God used ordinary people to bring the most extraordinary person into the world. These 24 chapters walk us through the biblical epic of the first Christmas. Brace yourself for some humor and a shock about why God had to become one of us. Don’t be surprised if you see yourself in this process of reading their journeys. God is still using ordinary folks to work out his redemption plan.
I began writing this book as weekly blog posts beginning in December 2011. If you like The Chosen, you will love this book. Part biblical fiction part devotional book The Extra Ordinary Christmas will forever change the way you look at Christmas.
