The Christmas Journey by Donna VanLiere - Donna VanLiere is the author of The Christmas Shoes, for which I will forgive her, since I so enjoyed this little book retelling the story of Mary and Joseph and their journey to Bethlehem. (I admit I have not read the shoes book, only suffered through the song, which I cannot stand at all, so perhaps I am judging the book harshly!) At any rate, The Christmas Journey literally takes only minutes to read, but VanLiere's simple yet evocative description of the journey to Bethlehem and birth of Jesus is truly compelling, showing Mary and Joseph as very ordinary human beings. I hope to remember to reread this book next Christmas season.
