Did You Miss Something About Jesus' Birth? Unnoticed Nativity Facts

John Greco, author of "Rediscovering Christmas: A Twelve-Day Journey to the Manger" is on a mission to help people understand the powerful details in the biblical Christmas story.  In the book, Greco puts the nativity story in chronological order to help people understand the proper order of events — a quest that he said helps people "discover a bunch of really cool things" they might otherwise miss. "As they're reading this familiar story, they're going to find new things and hopefully they'll see God's goodness all the way through," he said.  Ultimately, Greco said "Rediscovering Christmas" is a good book for believers and the curious alike.  "If you're new to the Bible, this is a great way to kind of connect those dots that you might ordinarily miss," he said. "But everything is drawn directly from Scripture. I'm not ... adding things. I'm just kind of filling in some some gaps where either Luke or Matthew are being spare with their language." -- Welcome to "The Newsmakers Podcast," a show where we go behind the headlines each day to bring you interviews with pastors, entertainers, politicians, and other notable figures.
