The Deliverer Has Come: A Christmas Story

Told from the perspective of a young girl living during the time of Jesus’s birth, this uniquely illustrated nativity story helps young readers understand the ＂what＂ and embrace the ＂why＂ of Christmas.

Anika loves stories. Her favorites are the stories Great Auntie Anna shares from the scriptures. The stories about the Deliverer, the one God promised to send, the one whom the Israelites have been waiting for.

Soon Anika begins to hear new stories that hint that the Deliverer has come--from shepherds, wise men, and even her great-auntie! Will Anika get to one day tell the story of how she too met the Deliverer?

Through this child’s-eye view of the original nativity story accompanied by breathtakingly unique illustrations, husband-and-wife team Sarah Shin and Shin Maeng weave together the anticipation and waiting in the season of Advent with the celebration of the arrival of our hope through Jesus.

Sarah Shin is a Korean American theologian who loves helping the church share the story of Jesus. She is the author of Beyond Colorblind and is currently earning her PhD in systemic theology at the University of Aberdeen. Sarah is married to Shin and they live with their daughter in Scotland.

Shin Maeng is a Korean American illustrator living in bonnie Scotland. He loves roaming around Scottish ruins, going on adventures with Jesus, and sharing those stories with new and old friends.
