The book's central message

Christmas is not simply about remembering that Christ was born in Bethlehem; it is about preparing our hearts to receive Him and allowing His presence to transform our lives here and now.

Blessed Fulton J. Sheen reminds us that the mystery of Christmas is found in God's extraordinary love for humanity. The infant in the manger is the Savior who came to redeem the world, and His birth invites every person into a deeper relationship with God and through Him, with each other.
