Nativity
Many of the stories in this collection take place at or near Christmas time. There are stories of new births, of rebirths, of new beginnings, and there are a couple that deal with the joys and sorrows of the annual Nativity Play. Again this year it was difficult to make the final choice. There are so many skilled writers out there. There was little wrong with any of the writing we read but in the end we went for the strongest stories and for those tales that best interpreted the theme. There are some familiar authors in this volume and also some new writers. We treasure them all.

A most unexpected collection of stories, focused on new beginnings an rebirth. It's definitely not your traditional nativity theme, but so much more.
The stories are so varied, dramatic, melancholic, dark and comedic, there is a story to suit everyone.
My particular favourites were Emmanuel by Steve Wade and Entranced by Margaret Bulleyment, both very different yet heartwarming and enjoyable to read.

This is a collection of 24 short 'Nativity' themed stories by different authors. They vary considerably from one set in Roman times to Sci Fi to magical. I loved The Seventh Angel by Joy Mawby, it had such warmth and humour. There was also lots to make you smile in Linda Flynn's Like a Lamb and Dawn Knox's Following the Star. I also enjoyed The Trip to Nativity by Jim Bates and found this very moving. Truly something for everyone.
