Publisher Description
Bestselling author Angela Hunt, who most recently wrote Magdalene, a historical fiction novel of the story of Mary Magdalene that was tied to The Da Vinci Code, now focuses on Mary, the mother of Jesus. She has adapted the screenplay for The Nativity Story into a powerful historical novel. Her moving novelization of this film tells the extraordinary tale of two common people, Mary and Joseph, a miraculous pregnancy, an arduous journey, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. Brought to life with an unprecedented attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy, Hunt tells how from humble beginnings great things can come.

"I listened to the audio version during my work commute. This is a story we all know but the journey of Mary & Joseph impacts me more and more as I mature. It becomes more and more powerful each time I hear it."

" Reading it around Christmas, the importance of the story was at the front of my mind. Just a middle of the road telling of it. "
— Lawrence, 6/23/2011 -
" It was good. Not as good as the A. D. Chronicles series was, but it was really good all the same. :) "

" I lost this book at a hotel...this made me feel sad since it was just really good. I sometimes don't like film adaptations but this one was pretty good :) "

" I read this at Christmas, it was nice to read the story from Mary's prospective. "
— Kim, 9/16/2008 -
" The story of Mary and Joseph...and Baby Jesus "
— Tammy, 1/18/2008 -
" This is very lightweight. I didn't see the movie - it didn't appeal to me as I didn't think it was going to say anything that hadn't already been said. This book verifies that. It's quite sweet, but unmemorable. "
— Kathleen, 9/4/2007 -
" I read it in German (Es begab sich aber zu der Zeit). I thought this was a great way to think about the Nativity more personally, but there were really some things that I felt took way too many liberties. The writing wasn't that great and the sections on the wise men were kind of ridiculous. "
— Michelle, 8/4/2007 -
" An interesting intrepretation of what the real Christmas story would have been like. A wonderful Christmas read. "
— Pitterpat, 6/14/2007 -
" I actually liked this novelization better than the movie (of the same name). The storyline is basically the same as that of the movie (the Christmas story), and it is well written. "
— Susan, 4/29/2007
