Big
News from Bethlehem Book Review - A Christmas Interview: Reporting Live from Bethlehem!
Reviewed by Lisa M. Hendey Around
my home, we frequently speculate on how Jesus might have been received had He
been born into todays culture. You can bet your mistletoe that Jesus birth might
have been covered on CNN if the right media source been tipped off in advance.
A fun
new childrens Christmas book, A Christmas Interview: Reporting Live from Bethlehem!
(Pauline Books and Media, August 2005, paperback), gives kids the chance to imagine
what reporters might have asked had they been on hand for the big event in Bethlehem.
The book, translated from its original Japanese version written by Father Yoshitaka
Yoshiike, accompanies two roving reporters on their time-travel journey back to
the original site of the birth of our Savior. The
kids have questions for each of the major players, including St. Joseph, Mary,
the shepherd witnesses and even the Wise Men. Expressive illustrations by Fujio
Tsuchiya lend to the fun of this fast paced, yet scripturally based, narrative
on the nativity. The book might also lend itself to a dramatic representation
by a family or classroom wanting to act out the events of that first Christmas.
