Publisher's summary

A Chicago journalist finds himself in a small Texas town on Christmas Eve. Lonely and alone, he encounters old faces and new facts: a hand carved manger, a father's guilt, a young girl's faith. The trip into the past holds his key to the future, and a scarlet cross shows him the way home.

This Christmas treasure, formerly titled The Christmas Cross now repackaged and redesigned, is quickly becoming a Christmas classic.

Includes Cosmic Christmas

I fell in love with Max Lucado's books when I first heard 'Cosmic Christmas' on a radio program years ago. For me, this forever told story was brought home to me and I finally understood what I was missing about the gift that God gave us. I love 'The Christmas Child' and the narrator is excellent as well, but would have bought this just for the second story.

The Christmas Child was a good story…

The Christmas Child was a good story, but the 2nd tale, Cosmic Christmas was not very enjoyable.
