It happened 2,000 years ago, in a small barn, in a small town, in a small nation – yet your life, and the world today, changed forever by it anyway. Most people have heard about the babe born in Bethlehem, yet few have really explored the depths of His beginnings. Now in this beautifully crafted volume by one of Christianity’s most influential writers, you’ll get a breathtakingly detailed portrait of the early years of Jesus Christ. So many answers to the whys and hows are at your fingertips. For the first time, you’ll understand the timing of His birth, how a nation rose and fell by His Word, and why He was truly born to die. Read all about the man who is more than just a part of history, a man who is more than just another religion. He’s the reason you’re alive, He is the bridge between heaven and earth, and this is the first part of His amazing journey straight into your heart. (Born to Die is taken from the first 16 chapters of The Desire of Ages
