"If something isn't aesthetically pleasing or interesting, doesn't require skills I do not have, and makes a stupid point stupidly, I don't appreciate it as art. That doesn't make me a philistine. It makes me a non-rube."

The One with Shepherds, Why This Jubilee?

127. Title & Author: Shepherds, Why This Jubilee? by Elder Jeffery R. Holland (76 pages)
Genre: Nonfiction--Religion & LDS
Completed: 11 December 2009

Summary & Review:
Elder Jeffery R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles presents three essays on the importance of Christmas and the reasons we celebrate it. He examines the humble beginnings of our Savior, the power of Christmas hymns, and how the message of Christmas brought comfort to him the Christmas day his father his died.

This was an excellent book that helped me refocus on the true reason for Christmas. Elder Holland's words were clear and powerful and he brought unique perspective to the Christmas story.

This was a Christmas present from my parents who sent it to my while I was in the Philippines.
