Devotions From the Nativity
The 12th devotional book by Jim Head has us look again at the Christmas account or the birth of Jesus, the Christ. The greatest story ever told is the one about the King of Glory coming to earth in human form. Here is the really great part, it is not a story, it is history. For those that call upon the name of the Lord for the forgivness of their sins, this is where it starts; the Nativity. Scripture tells about the coming of the King , His earthly parents, and His birth, but I believe it speaks even more to us. Read the Nativity account again to see what else it might be saying and to remember what Christmas is all about.

About the author
Jim Head
31 books2 followersJim Head is the author of The Circuit Rider Mysteries, a series of historical mystery novels set in the 1880s American West. A resident of north central Idaho and a member of the Wesleyan tradition, Jim has spent decades studying the history of frontier faith — the circuit riders, camp meetings, and traveling preachers who carried the Gospel into territory where the church hadn't yet arrived.
His protagonist, Reverend Elias Cane, grew out of a simple question: what kind of man would do that work? The answer, Jim found, was someone shaped by both Scripture and hard experience — a man who had seen enough of the world to understand its darkness and enough of God to keep riding toward the light anyway.
The Circuit Rider Mysteries blends the tradition of the classic mystery novel with the spiritual questions that have always mattered most to Jim: justice, mercy, truth, and what it costs to choose them when the cost is real. Each book stands on its own, but together they form a portrait of a faith that was never easy and never safe, carried by ordinary people through extraordinary country.
