The birth

Told from two vantage points, heaven and earth, this retelling of the nativity opens in the angelic realm. There, the hosts watch with keen anticipation as Gabriel approaches a threshold, sensing that something unprecedented is about to unfold. Their curiosity is matched by a looming confrontation, since the powers of good and evil stand poised to meet.

The story follows the incarnation of Christ as it is witnessed both above and below. Readers move between the celestial court and the human world to see how the events of the birth look from each side.
