Publisher's summary

Based on the major motion picture, The Nativity Story is the very human, very dramatic, and uniquely inspiring saga of a journey of faith.

Best-selling author Angie Hunt, who most recently wrote Magdalene, a historical fiction novel of the story of Mary Magdalene that was tied to The Da Vinci Code movie, now focuses on Mary, the mother of Jesus. She has adapted the screenplay for The Nativity Story into a powerful, historical novel. Her moving novelization tells the extraordinary tale of two common people, Mary and Joseph, a miraculous pregnancy, an arduous journey, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. Brought to life with an unprecedented attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy, Hunt tells how, from humble beginnings, great things can come.

I’ll listen to this every December!

Everything about this book is fantastic. I love the story of Christ’s birth and am so happy to have found something to help me feel the true spirit of Christmas in such a meaningful way. The narration is wonderful as is the writing.

New way of tell an old story

This is a very interesting and entertaining story of the birth of Jesus. For those who know and live the story it gives a more personal insight into the lives of Mary and Joseph.

Great story

The Nativity Story is a great retelling of Christ’s birth. It is fascinating hearing how the characters such as Mary and Joseph more than likely reacted to these events. The author paints very realistic setting.
The narrator has a very soothing voice.

Angela does it again!

Angela Hunt has been my favorite author for at least 14 years now. She has a style that makes the phone book “must read” material! The Nativity Story is nothing short of excellent’

Best telling of Nativity I’ve EVER heard

Angela Hunt has done it again! She can weave a story anew better than most anybody! Even though this story has been told through the ages, I could not put it down until it was finished! I especially loved how she embellished the Magi portion! BravoAngela, one of your bests ❣️
