Christmas First: Zechariah tells the remarkable true story of a priest whose quiet faithfulness was met by a life-changing encounter with God.

For four hundred years, heaven had been silent. Then, in the temple courts of Jerusalem, an aged priest named Zechariah was chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime duty—to burn incense before the Lord. There, he met the angel Gabriel, who brought an astonishing promise: he and his wife Elizabeth would have a son, John, who would prepare the way for the Messiah.

Told through the warm voice of a grandmother reading to her grandchildren, this richly illustrated story weaves together Scripture, history, and devotion.

Perfect for family read-alouds, classrooms, and churches.

The Christmas First series brings the events of the first Christmas to life in order, helping children and adults alike see, hear, and feel the wonder of God’s greatest gift.
