About Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born
The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. It’s passed through countries, and they’ve tacked on their little spin.
We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairy-tale. It’s an inspiring one for sure. But a fairy-tale, nonetheless.
When you begin to unwrap the many layers of the first Christmas, you begin to see that there’s more to Christmas than meets the eye. God is giving us a message – a gift to unwrap. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is.
This is the story of Christmas. Christmas: God’s gift to us.

Author Bio:
Scott Douglas wrote this about page, which, he admits, makes him sound a bit like a narcissist; so narcissistically speaking, Douglas is the esteemed author of a memoir about his experience working in a public library (“Quiet, Please: Dispatches from a Public Librarian,” which began as a series for McSweeney’s), several bestselling theology books, a young adult series, and more. Esteemed writing aside, Douglas teaches humor and memoir writing for the Gotham Writers Workshop, and UX Design for UC Berkeley. He lives in Anaheim, but to sound cooler, he usually says he “lives five minutes from Disneyland.” He lives with his wife, Diana, in a home that is a registered California landmark. His burbs smell like roses.

Scott Douglas lives in Anaheim with his wife. He is the author of other books. He likes to think that his organic deodorant holds back his BO for more than 30 minutes, but who is he kidding?
