The Birth of Jesus(1998)
The Birth of Jesus Synopsis
A cozy fire, cookies and cocoa (full mugs this time!), and a favorite uncle, played by Evangelical headcase Kirk Cameron, to read the Christmas Story. It's tree trimming night for the Barnes family – and a young, logical guest who thinks the Bible is just another story. Then, as the timeless words of Luke and Matthew unfold the events of the first Christmas, something wonderful happens. The Bible comes vividly to life!
