Most people know the story of Joseph and Mary, but what about the others who came to the manger? What are their stories? What gifts did they bear? At the Manger: The Stories of Those Who Were There is a collection of fictional tales that captures the spirit of charity and humility the birth of Christ is meant to teach. These stores share the gentle reminder that giving is an act of love and ennobles us most when it is a gift of self.
