Every December 25, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the son of God. His birth was already foretold by Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary. Hence, Christmas Day is not just a normal holiday but a very important one to the Christian community because it is the day that the Savior was born.
Jesus’ birth was stated on Luke 2:7-11, “and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
So, what could be the best yet an unconventional thing to do to commemorate the occasion? The answer is reading! There are many Christian books that you can read or re-read just in time for Christmas. These pieces can definitely make you strengthen your faith in Him, as well as get closer to Jesus and His Father. That said, here are the perfect Christian books to read this season.
A Law from Eden by Marilyn Taplin
This book helps us understand what particular sin is the reason why we were eliminated from the Garden of Eden. The author evaluates the Holy Scripture to reveal the original sin, which is neither pride nor the search for knowledge about right and wrong; instead, it is sexual immorality. A misconception of gender fluidity has contributed to this profoundly wicked community, and the biblical study suggests that the manner in which even those preaching to be Christians perceive their own identities were being corrupted by sexual activities rooted in ancient pagan cultures and now present in current LGBT groups — which shows that the LGBTQ unnatural sex or the LGBTQ go against what is mandated on the Bible regarding the sexual orientation and acts. The universe is heading in the opposite direction, people say, and Jesus teaches everyone how to change the trajectory and take Eden back to Earth. For those who claim to be Christians understand the powerful truth regarding the original sin and finally put an end to this sexual encounter, they will be ready to assist in ushering in the God-promised heaven on earth.
