Treasures in Straw

For some, Christmas is a magical time. For others, it can be painful, and the tinselled tellings of Jesus’ birth feel saccharine and empty. Yet in that first Christmas, all of life is there – disgrace and honour, uncertainty and hope, temptation and tyranny, sorrow and celebration. Interweaving theological insight with honest experiences, Marlow traces the themes of loss and gain throughout the nativity. Against a darker backdrop, we see with greater clarity our unshakeable blessings. However you feel about Christmas, Treasures in Straw will leave you with fresh wonder, deeper understanding, and genuine joy.
