Real Live Preacher is writing the Christmas story in eight parts.
...It seems the real Christmas story is lacking many of our favorite elements. Perhaps you are wondering what kind of story might be left without the donkey and the animals in the barn, without the busy but kindly innkeeper, without the rickety manger, and without the stunning gifts lying in the straw.Part I - The Census
Part II - The Plan
Part III - The Journey
Part IV - The Rejection
Part V - The Angels
Part VI - The Manger
Part VII - The Shepherds
Part VIII - The Question
All eight parts in their entirety can be found here.
