The Cradle, Cross, and Crown
How can we stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas amidst so much distraction during the holidays? Beloved preacher and evangelist Billy Graham invites you to celebrate Christmas and the birth and life of Christ through a new perspective—the cradle, cross, and crown.
The biblical Christmas message is so often lost in the busyness and commercialism of the holiday season—holiday parties, family get-togethers, and the pressure to spend excessively on loved ones. How and where can we experience and share Christ at Christmas?
Drawing from a lifetime of writings and sermons, world-renowned preacher and author Billy Graham helps us slow down and focus on Jesus by taking us back to the time when heaven descended to earth to the place where Christ was born.
This classic Christmas message includes
- Excerpts from This Christmas Night
- Scriptural accounts of Christ’s birth
- Favorite Christmas carols
- Beautiful poetry by Billy Graham's wife, Ruth Bell Graham
Use this message of hope to point you and your family toward Jesus this Christmas. And give it as a gift to your friends, loved ones, or complete strangers. Experience Christ this Christmas through The Cradle, Cross, and Crown.
