Synopsis

The authentic Christmas story, told in a warm, winsome and witty way. Perfect for giving away. The nativity story is often seen as cute and cuddly and for kids. But that’s because some of what really happened at the first Christmas has been edited out of popular retellings! The full, unabridged, uncut story is full of twists and turns, controversy and mystery. This best-selling book, now revised and updated, tells readers what really happened all those years ago, and why it really matters for our lives and futures today. Warm and witty, short and easy to read, Christmas Uncut is perfect for giving out at Christmas services and events, or to nonbelieving family and friends.

Carl Laferton explains that there's a lot that doesn't show up in children's Christmas pageants, and as he retells the Christmas story, he highlights elem......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth

This was a very quick read of the Christmas story. It feels like it is written for people who have never read the Christmas story in the Bible or know much about the Christian story at Christmas time. He refers in each chapter to Christmas pageants that don't tell the real story of the Bible in scho......more

Goodreads review by Joel

What really happened at Christmas, and why does it matter? Unlike the diluted nativity play (as lovely as it can be), the original Christmas story was more scandalous, gritty, and dramatic than we usually remember. That’s because it really happened and has real implications for our real lives. This l......more
