"A new Nativity experience for families to read and perform as a sing-along of beloved Christmas carols with text by New York Times best-selling author Jason F. Wright and music by the woman called 'America's violinist, ' Jenny Oaks Baker. Told in two parts, the book begins with an adaptation of the narration and music from the stage production of Joy to the World: A Sacred Celebration by Jason F. Wright and Jenny Oaks Baker. In it, a shepherd named David takes us on a sacred journey that celebrates the Nativity through beloved carols and scriptures. The text can be read alone or used as a script for performances with family, friends, book clubs, or church groups. Sheet music to beloved Christmas carols is accompanied by QR codes of instrumental audio tracks performed by Jenny Oaks Baker & Family Four. Part two of the book invites readers to become witnesses of Christ by adopting five of His attributes (benevolence, forgiveness, patience, prayerfulness, and faith), each accompanied by timeless wisdom and thought-provoking insights by New York Times best-selling author Jason F. Wright and supported by scriptural passages. Wright also includes five true stories of people who have embraced each of these attributes. For example, one woman used Jesus's attribute of forgiveness to reconnect with her absent mother, resulting in a heart-warming miracle for both mother and daughter. This large-format, full-color, illustrated Christmas gift book is a must-have holiday keepsake for music lovers. "--

Almost everyone gets the doldrums at some level, whether from heartache, despair, or simply feeling that life isn't what they had planned. Author Jason F. Wright invites readers to rise above life's challenges with a message of hope. He offers specific counsel and advice he's learned through personally striving to live a Christ-centered life and through worshipping with many different congregations together in churches across the United States. This illustrated book is like an extended greeting card of comfort, support, and courage, reminding those who are struggling that they are not alone in their trials. The core of the author's message begins with a promise from God and three words that every Christian is familiar with--"He is risen." "Those three words are more than a headline," says the author. "They are a promise. Because He is risen, we too shall rise again. Every child of God has moments when it feels as if a giant rock has been rolled in front of our path. You may feel emotionally whipped by winds beyond your control. You may be thinking your own saving miracle is too far away to lean on. If you feel alone, in the dark, or powerless, remember that rising again doesn't need to wait until body and soul reunite. HE IS RISEN so we can rise . . . TODAY."
