Book Summary
A new Nativity experience for families to read and perform as a sing-along of beloved Christmas carols with text by New York Times best-selling author, creator and speaker Jason F. Wright and music by Grammy-nominated, Billboard No. 1 performer and recording artist Jenny Oaks Baker, "America's Violinist"™.
Told in two parts, the book begins with an adaptation of the narration and music from the stage production of Joy to the A Sacred Celebration by Jason F. Wright and Jenny Oaks Baker. In it, a shepherd named David takes us on a sacred journey that celebrates the Nativity through beloved carols and scriptures. The text can be read alone or used as a script for performances with family, friends, book clubs, or church groups. Sheet music to beloved Christmas carols is accompanied by QR codes of instrumental audio tracks performed by Jenny Oaks Baker & Family Four.
Part two of the book invites readers to become witnesses of Christ by adopting five of His attributes (benevolence, forgiveness, patience, prayerfulness, and faith), each accompanied by timeless wisdom and thought-provoking insights by New York Times best-selling author Jason F. Wright and supported by scriptural passages. Wright also includes five true stories of people who have embraced each of these attributes. For example, one woman used Jesus's attribute of forgiveness to reconnect with her absent mother, resulting in a heart-warming miracle for both mother and daughter.
This large-format, full-color, illustrated Christmas gift book is a must-have holiday keepsake for music lovers.

My Review
I love finding new Christmas books each year. I especially love it when the story is accompanied by music. This book is especially wonderful for Christians from all walks of life who believe in Christ. Witnesses of Christmas: A Musical Journey Through the Nativity of Jesus the Christ is the perfect book to celebrate the birth of Christ. If you want your family to remember the real reason why we celebrate Christmas, this book and the music is a perfect way to start your Christmas season. Jason Wright has done another beautiful job and I especially loved when he shared the real-life stories of people who have embraced Christlike attributes. I highly recommend this book to all people, especially those with children young and old.
