THE SECOND CHRISTMAS by John Haynes Helmes

THE SECOND CHRISTMAS

By

Publisher: Macmillan

A trilogy of stories which expand the Gospels to imagine Mary and Jesus, the wise men, the inn-keeper and his wife, Herod and his messenger sent to kill the Child -- in new guise. These may appeal to those who are apt to say ""what happened next?"" Personally, I did not feel that they enriched or amplified the old story of the Nativity.
