    Great Read for Christmas and Beyond

    I must admit I am not usually a reader of Christmas stories. In fact, I only picked this book up on the recommendation of a friend. Upon reading it, however, I found it to be a great read, with excellent writing and intriguing plotlines, brought together by the central event. I would definitely recommend this book for those who enjoy Christmas stories, as well as those who just enjoy a well written, well crafted read!

    Giving and Sacrifice are a GIFT of LOVE

    Peter Orullian has succeeded in writing a connected series of short stories that will touch your heart. They articulate the harshness of the lives and time of the ordinary people that witnessed the birth of the Christ child. Through their own personal sacrifice they find redemption. "At the Manger" made me reflective and hopeful. It helped me put in perspective, the act of giving, is in fact, a gift of love.

    Praise for At the Manger

    If you read one book this Christmas, this should be it. This book takes you on a journey through the sorrow and gut wrenching pain that life can bring, to the peace and healing the Savior offers. Be there as those who first saw the Christ child are transformed by His love and the miracle of His birth. I highly recommend this book. I guarantee you've never read a Christmas story quite like this.

    This book really helps you feel the spirit of Christmas

    I purchased this book at a local bookstore and have since pre-ordered 2 more copies from Barnes and Noble to give as gifts this Christmas. It is a wonderful book with 12 different stories of people who were around or present at the time of Christ's birth. One of the stories about a carpenter named Luke, who crafts the manger the babe slept in, is interwoven throughout the book. It's a wonderful feeling to get to know these characters and the author paints them so vividly that you truely feel what they are feeling. The handmaiden, the watchman, the vintner and others, as well as my personal favorites - the beggar and the potter - are all wonderful characters with their own set of problems in life, that come to the realization that the baby boy born in a simple stable is truely the Messiah. I highly recommend the book to read(and to give as a gift to others) to bring you to the true spirit of Christmas.
