God has sent the traveler to tell her about Himself. There are lots of stories in this book.

The birth of Jesus Christ at Bethlehem was a critical event in the fulfillment of God’s timeless plan for man’s redemption–necessitated by Adam’s sin in the Garden of Eden. Unfortunately the birth of the Christ-child is also one of the most-distorted events in history. This unique resource was designed by a physician who wanted a way to reach out to non-Christians in his city and help them understand that Christ came into the world on the very first Christmas.
