God Reached Down from Heaven with the Best Gift of All   A sacred season is about to unfold for three women whose hearts belong to God. Elizabeth is barren, yet her trust in God remains fertile. Mary is betrothed in marriage, yet she is willing to bear God’s Son. Anna is a widow full of years, yet she waits patiently, prayerfully for the Messiah to appear in the temple courts. Following in their footsteps, you too can prepare for the Savior to enter your heart, your mind, and your life in a vibrant, new way. Best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs explores the biblical stories of Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna, unwrapping each verse with tender care and introducing you afresh to The Women of Christmas.  Angelic encounters, miraculous conceptions, unexpected visitors, and outbursts of praise: take a fresh look at the nativity story with Liz Curtis Higgs.   “Christmas is so much more than a holiday. So much more than buying and wrapping and cooking and eating and trimming with tinsel and mailing out cards. It’s a season for reflection, for preparation, for renewal. What better time to put aside our shopping lists and reach for our Bibles, where the story of the Christ child awaits us.”                        -Liz Curtis Higgs   What readers are saying about The Women of Christmas: “Wow! Liz illuminates details that I have glossed over and missed.” “She brings such depth to each character of the Bible that I feel as if I have met them on the street.” “Her writing pierces my heart and helps me see God’s Word in a different way.”
