Overview

""It was a night before christmas When all through the town Every creature was stirring And shocked at the sound Of a maid in a stable Her cries did resound As she labored by manger With cattle around The lowest of places The savior was born His mother the object Of many a scorn"" ""A Night Before Christmas"" was written just in time for the Christmas season and comes with a timeless message of hope. Japanese American writer, Akemi Rhea, makes her publishing debut with a Gospel-focused, intergenerational story of the birth of Christ.

"""Akemi Rhea's poem draws us toward the wonder of Christmas by drawing us to The Wonder Himself. In this poem the plan of true redemption unfolds. God's rescue revealed in powerful word and beautiful art compelling the listener to fall into the arms of Jesus--to fall in love with Jesus. I can't wait to share this poem with my family and friends during Advent, and watch a new tradition be born. But I'm certain I'll reflect upon the beauty of this poem well beyond December.
