Information on Follow The Star from the publisher:

Christmas is a special time of year. Families gather for fancy feasts, and presents are exchanged. But the true meaning of the holiday does not come wrapped in brightly colored paper and bows. Scrumptious meals and special treats are not the reasons for the season. The real gift of Christmas is the birth of Jesus; the celebration is to honor this miracle with those we love. In Follow The Star, T. D. Jakes reminds of us what Christmas is all about. He shares the Christmas stories that have touched his heart and shaped his life. His childhood memories and deeply personal experiences come alive and illuminate the meaning of the season: family stories about the worst of times, when they found the spirit of Christmas despite poverty and hardship; stories about the best of times, and the need to slow down and appreciate the real gifts of fellowship, love, and God. Biblical stories magnify the relevance of this blessed day, and with his unique insight Bishop Jakes lights the way to a deeper understanding of the holiday.With gentle guidance and inspirational messages, Bishop Jakes takes us on a journey to Christmases past and present, and leads us to embrace fully the magnitude of the miracle as we celebrate the birth of Christ.
