Hear the first Christmas come alive.
The fully dramatized audiobook of The Forgotten Nativity brings the story to life with voices and sound effects, from the angel Gavrel's announcement to three shepherd cousins racing through the dark to find baby Yeshoo.
Narrated by Gavrel (Gabriel), the story reaches back past centuries of tradition into the real world of first-century Judea. Maryam and Yawsef are welcomed into a simple home in Bethlehem, a midwife and experienced mothers gather for the birth, and the best news ever comes to three young shepherds: Shooshan, Nooreh, and Shemoon. Where Scripture speaks, it follows Matthew and Luke carefully. Where Scripture is silent, it imagines responsibly.
"I have nothing but praise for this wonderful book for children."
—David H. Vila, PhD, Director, Abila Archaeological Project
"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."
—Sandra Glahn, Seminary Professor
