I was first tipped off to this new film by Juan the Fridge Elf. And since then I’ve read more good things. Apparently it’s been made into a novel as well.

The movie will launch here in SA on Friday the 8th of December. Here’s the blurb from the Nu Metro site:

One Couple. One Journey. One Child…who would change the world…forever.

From humble beginnings, great things can come. “The Nativity Story” 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, The Nativity Story is the very human, very dramatic, and uniquely inspiring saga of a journey of faith.

I think it’s wonderful to have our focus drawn away for a while from the fir trees and presents, and back to the story of the birth of Jesus, our God and Saviour who became man to save us… the true Christmas spirit. Looking forward to this one!
