There are three stories in this book: An Angel's Story, The Christmas Candle, and The Christmas Child.
Lucado was very imaginative in creating the fictional account of viewing the conception of Jesus until the birth of the Savior of the world from Gabriel's(angelic) perspective. He added a number of possible details not mentioned in the Bible.
I really like The Christmas Candle. It is a simple story. But very often it is the simple stories that carry profound messages. If we believe in a God that is alive and care enough for human kind to intervene in our affairs, then we have to believe in miracles.
In The Christmas Child, we see not only of human frailty but also divine forgiveness. An adopted son found that his life had come full circle when he met his biological grandfather and reconciled with his estrange wife one Christmas.
Like other Lucado books I have read, these stories are filled with faith, hope and love from heaven.
