Unexpected Bethlehem: Four Christmas Stories
What if the Christmas story unfolded in different times and places? This collection of four interconnected tales reimagines the nativity through fresh eyes and unexpected voices.

In ancient Judea, a Roman businessman witnesses political intrigue and quiet horror in Herod's court. Far from home, three wise men struggle with doubt and exhaustion as they follow a fading star across desolate landscapes. A modern journalist encounters mysterious travelers who speak of world-changing events. And on a cold Christmas Eve, a homeless community beneath a bridge becomes the unlikely setting for new life and unexpected grace.

From marble halls to cardboard shelters, from ancient stargazers to contemporary outcasts, these stories explore timeless themes of hope, hospitality, and the sacred appearing in the most unlikely places.
Each tale stands alone, yet together they ask: Where do we find the divine today? And who are the real kings among us?
A thought-provoking collection that honors Christmas tradition while offering a fresh way to see a familiar story.
