From Despair to Hope

"From Despair to Hope" by Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian offers Perspectives on the Christmas Story through witnesses closely connected with the events. We see Christmas through Joseph's eyes as he struggles with the impossible news Mary shares with him. We then see the events through the eyes of Quirinius, a Roman official who was governor at the time of the Nativity and who "purportedly" wrote a personal correspondence to one of his successors, Pontius Pilate, some thirty years after the events. Dr. Bilezikian's background in Biblical Studies brings an authenticity and realism to these reflections, and this book will enhance your insight and celebration of the birth of of Jesus.
