There is a different Christmas for everyone, it seems. For the person you pass in the high street, Christmas is a time of puddings and crackers and boxing day T.V., for another it means family and a large meal and the yearly dip into tradition at the nearest Advent service. For you, it may mean something else entirely.
There are as many Christmases as there are fairy lights on the tallest of Christmas trees.
But there is another Christmas. A surprising Christmas. A hidden Christmas.
Bestselling author and New York pastor Tim Keller takes you on a remarkable journey to the very heart of Christmas. Passing by all the cliches and stock images, Hidden Christmas looks at powerful truths that lie in wait. From the meaning of light in all things Christmas, to the reason that one of the Gospels doesn’t begin with the star and the manger and the shepherds, but with a long genealogy of Jesus.
At turns surprising and shocking, the Christmas story remains one of joy, of the most unlikely people playing pivotal roles, and of lives that were blind but now see.
As all the different Christmases jostle up against each other, takes the time out to find the grace nestled within the hidden heart of Christmas.

Notes
One of bestselling New York pastor Tim Keller's most popular Christmas sermons, expanded and published in a beautiful gift edition.
The New Testament begins not with a dramatic narrative or lofty poetry but with a genealogy. Provocatively, Matthew's gospel includes women in Jesus' family line - something that wasn't customary in an ancient culture, where women were largely powerless and uninfluential.
In this surprising take on the Christmas story, Tim Keller reveals how, by focusing on the women in Jesus' birth narratives, a colourful, scandalous, and refreshing tale of grace emerges.
