The War on Christmas: Battles in Faith, Tradition, and
Religious Expression a book to help “Find the truth about Christmas and the
Christian’s response to a culture that seems to be declaring war on traditions
and the Bible!”
I have become so tired of trying to defend my Christian
beliefs and the reasons we do the things we do. I have been approached by even
Christian people who have be confused about holidays that we celebrate and at
times even question if they are right or not. I was excited to receive this
book to read and review to see if maybe it could clear up some of the
confusion. Although reading some of it seemed almost like reading a textbook
and some of the information I already knew it did make some interesting points.
A point that was made that I liked was if we are uplifting Christ and making it
about Him how could it be wrong? We are after all praising Him. Now if we are
turning a Christian holiday into something else I feel it would be wrong. As a
Christian I feel we should take any opportunity we can to uplift His name. I
have also been asked about the decorating of the tree that is mentioned in the
bible as wrong and the book addressed this. I’m glad that I now know what the
tree in the bible represented and can pass that along. You will have to read
the book to find out J.
I liked that the book included biblical references and not
just opinions. I believe anytime we defend our Christian beliefs it should be
backed up by His Word. The book seemed to be a little choppy but other than
that it was well written and beautifully illustrated. I do wish there was some
more elaboration on a few issues but overall I enjoyed the book. I wouldn’t say
it was life changing or overly enlightening but there are some good points that
could be brought up when one is questioned about the holiday. If you are
questioning the Christmas holiday pick this book up and give it a read.
I was given this book by Handlebar Publishing at no charge
for an honest review.
