Every December, the internet explodes with bold claims that Christmas is nothing more than a remix of ancient pagan festivals. Saturnalia, Sol Invictus, Yule, Mithras, Horus — you’ve heard the accusations. “Jesus is just a copycat.” “Christians stole December 25 from the pagans.” “The Christmas tree is pagan.”

The nativity scene is like a living Gospel rising up from the pages of sacred Scripture. As we contemplate the Christmas story, we are invited to set out on a spiritual journey, drawn by the humility of the God who became man in order to encounter every man and woman. We come to realize that so great is his love for us that he became one of us, so that we in turn might become one with him.

A man named Redlaw, burdened by sorrow and past regrets, is visited by a mysterious ghost who offers him a strange bargain: to forget all pain and suffering.

Our Long-Expected Gift is a Christmas devotional inspired by the Jesse Tree tradition. Each of the 25 days in December unfolds a beloved story from the Old Testament, retold in lyrical poem form. Every story gently points forward to the birth of Jesus, reminding us that His arrival was not an afterthought, but part of God’s perfect plan from the very beginning.

Many people wonder, "Is Jesus Christ even real?" For 38 years, I wondered too! I called myself a Christian because I wore a cross, prayed to God and attended church regularly. Yet, I lied, gossiped, and judged others without mercy. I misrepresented my God with my behavior, attitude, and words. Such was my life. In my prayers, I asked God to use my life to glorify Him but was ill-prepared for the response. I was arrested and charged with a felony! In deep and dark despair, I turned to Jesus Christ for help.

In this book, we're going on a journey to unwrap the Santa myth, piece by glorious piece. We'll dig up the forgotten folklore behind the gift giving, the winter greenery, and even those flying reindeer. Get ready to see the festive traditions you’ve always known in a completely new and sometimes surprising light.

The festive Christmas wreath we hang on our doors today has a rich and complex history stretching back to ancient pagan traditions, long before it was adapted for Christian holidays. For early Europeans, the harsh winter season, marked by the winter solstice, was a time of fear and uncertainty. The sight of evergreens such as holly, ivy, and pine, remaining green amidst the bleak landscape was a powerful symbol of hope, life, and renewal.

The cheerful, diminutive creatures of Santa's North Pole workshop stand in stark contrast to their folkloric ancestors. In ancient pagan traditions, particularly those of Norse and Germanic cultures, elves were not the jolly, toy making sprites we know today, but rather powerful and often mischievous supernatural beings.

Of all the traditions that define the holiday season, none is more iconic than the Christmas tree. From a simple pine decorated with care to a towering spruce aglow with a thousand lights, it is a centerpiece of our holiday celebrations, a familiar and unchanging symbol that welcomes us home each winter. For many, the sight of a decorated evergreen instantly evokes childhood memories of glittering ornaments and family gatherings, making its annual return feel both timeless and profoundly personal.

It's easy to think of Santa Claus as just a jolly, plump man in a red suit, a cozy figure who perfectly sums up the magic of Christmas. But what if I told you that the story is a lot weirder and a lot older than you’ve been led to believe? Forget the North Pole for a minute, and picture something a bit more primal: a flying shaman on a mushroom fueled trip, a wild god leading a ghostly hunt through the winter sky, and ancient tree spirits honored long before Christianity came around.

The wise men didn't arrive on a single starry night, in a stable bustling with shepherds. Their journey was a grueling, months-long quest across treacherous deserts and forbidding mountains, not a peaceful stroll to a manger. These were not gentle kings, but powerful, influential astrologers, so potent that their mere arrival in Jerusalem could send a paranoid king into a panic. They were men of power, science, and wealth, driven by an unshakeable conviction that a new king had been born, and they would stop at nothing to find him. Forget the gentle fable you know.

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1: 8). In The Apologies From a Repentant Christian series, we follow a personal and inspirational story of how an encounter with Christ changes a life forever. In her first audiobook, the author shares her moment of redemption, which involved surrendering her heart to God and receiving a new identity in Christ.

From one of the most beloved spiritual writers alive today, a powerful, timeless book of meditations for the Lenten season What if Lent were not primarily about self-improvement, but about real transformation through encountering God? In Wondrous Encounters, Richard Rohr invites readers into a...

During Lent, we often reflect on our limits—from dust we are, and to dust we will return. We remember that we will never be able to do everything we want to do, even and especially when what we want to do is love our neighbor well. In this daily devotional, Disability rights activist Tatum Tricarico helps us turn the tables on Lent. Rather than a time of feeling condemned or guilty beyond help, Lent is when we can take a breath and finally say what we have been trying to hide all year: I am human. I can’t do it all. And still, I am beloved by God.
