About The Forgotten Nativity: A Historically Honest Christmas Story
David Vila, PhD
Distinguished Professor of Religion & Philosophy and Director of the Abila Archaeological Project in Northwest Jordan
“I have nothing but praise for this wonderful book for children. The great pains that the author and illustrator took to capture the world of the first century, even in the smallest details – everyone carrying flasks of water for the journey to Bethlehem – faithfully represent the lived world of our Savior’s birth. Readers young and old will benefit immensely from the careful re-telling this familiar story, both in word and image.”
Bobby Gilles
Pastor
"Finally, a children's book that presents a historically accurate account of the nativity! From the dark skin tones to the depiction of shepherds as young family members, both male and female, the narrative and illustrations get it right. But The Forgotten Nativity doesn't read like a dry lecture. My youngest children loved it, and I look forward to reading it to my baby grandson in the years to come."
Sandra Glahn
Seminary Professor & Storyteller
"The Forgotten Nativity: A Historically Honest Christmas Story is the kids’ book about Jesus’s birth I’ve been waiting for. The work exchanges centuries of cultural baggage for the story as it more likely unfolded, with characters who look and have names like the people of first-century Bethlehem. Lovely illustrations and a neurodivergent-friendly font make the work accessible to readers of all ages. Told from Gabriel’s point of view, The Forgotten Nativity is a beautiful addition to any family’s holiday shelf, and a great choice for anyone who’s wondered what an angel might say if he could tell the story himself."
David Dawson
President, Foundation for Middle Eastern New Testament Studies (FoMENTS), founded by Dr. Kenneth E. Bailey
"We are really excited by how The Forgotten Nativity has captured Ken Bailey's insights. Parents will surely be enriched by the depth of story too!"
