“John has deep insights and is able to link and draw meaning from events and dates like no one I’ve ever read. I love the fact that in this book he shows Jesus as a ruler, but not the kind of ruler from whom we must stay at arm’s length. A must-read for anyone who wants a fresh perspective on the greatest story ever told. Once you read this book, you will have no doubt who the greatest gift of all time is—Jesus.” - Anita Cordell, Film and Commercial Actress Christmas comes around every December, followed by the celebration of a New Year. We recycle the same songs. We cook and eat turkey. But what is Christmas? To answer that question, we would be wise to turn to the one who brought the event into being. The one who is the subject of this book actually walked the dusty roads of the Middle East. Since his birth, he has impacted lives like no other. He has had more followers than anyone in history. He has been hated by many, and misunderstood by countless more, yet his teaching powerfully influences even the lives of those who don’t know him. His name is Jesus.

From Christmas trees to Santa Claus, to carols, lights and decorations, have you ever wondered how all these much-loved customs came about? In this book we will explore all the traditions that we associate with and enjoy over the festive holiday period and uncover some fascinating facts about the history behind them from around the world. Deeply entrenched in Western culture, we often forget what this magical time was originally celebrated for – the birth of Jesus Christ. It represents a time of peace and goodwill to all, but in modern day life this often gets lost in the big commercial merry-go-round with parties and gifts galore that it has become. Interestingly, some of the traditions we know so well actually started over 2,000 years ago before Jesus was born. So, let’s walk through the mists of time and legends and explore all the captivating snippets of historical customs that have led us to where we are today.

It was through tear-filled eyes that I read this book, captivated and encouraged by the scriptures and stories that John Telman shares throughout it. Easter Unwrapped is a powerful encouragement to believers, a powerful tool for those who are wavering in their faith, and an anointed witness to those who don’t know Jesus and the power of His Resurrection! After reading this book, I can’t imagine anyone ever doubting God's love for them. Millie Gray, Kansas City police officer, and Sergeant in the United States Air Force Life is so much more than merely the physical. You are more than a body. When life hits you between the eyes, when you feel the darkness of death around you, when you’re faced with trouble that drains the life out of you, remember Resurrection Sunday. Easter Unwrapped presents eleven insights into just how significant the resurrection of Jesus is to everyone. Easter is the day that changed everything, and it’s more than chocolate and bunny rabbits. It’s about life.
