Many churches give Why Christmas? as a gift to guests during a Christmas-themed Alpha celebration Dinner or place them into their Christmas bulletins. These booklets also make a great addition to a church welcome packet or for your greeters to give to each guest attending an Advent or Christmas service.

    Great book and especially as gift. This should be made available to purchase in bulk and not capped. This is a good resource material that we give out for FREE at this time of the year. A cap of 9 per purchase is not cost effective and hinders the spread of the true meaning of Christmas to thousands of people who do not know.

    Excellent eye catcher in the run up to Jesus especially for Christians working from a stall.

    This is, in my opinion, the best booklet for outreach at Christmas. My church has used it each year for people who want to get to the real meaning of Christmas and we look forward to doing so again this year.
