As we read the stories of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus it's easy to believe we are removed from the stories and observe the events from afar. In Holiday Biblical Characters: Finding My Stories in the Stories of Christmas and Easter, David Waddell, author of Characters of the Bible: Finding My Stories in Their Stories, once again correlates stories from his life and finds similarity with the characters in the stories of the Bible. He finds himself offering gifts to the Christ child and later denying that he even knows Him. We can find comfort in knowing that while we are just like Biblical people, we too can know the grace God offers to all.
