“Witnesses of Christmas”
by Jason F. Wright

I love having Christmas themed books on my coffee and end tables that everyone can enjoy during this special time of year like. I’m betting you do too so I’m including…

“Witnesses of Christmas, A Musical Journey Through the Nativity of Jesus the Christ”, by my friend, Jason F. Wright, with Jenny Oaks Baker & Family Four, in my gift-giving.

It’s an adaptation of the narration and music from the original stage production of Joy to the World: A Sacred Celebration, a production conceived of, performed by, and produced by Jenny, that Jason would write the script for and narrate—as a shepherd named David.

This first half of the book includes the script, sheet music, and QR code links to performance recordings and accompaniment tract to re-create a Nativity experience for readers unlike anything they’ve seen, heard, or read before.

The second half explains how readers can adopt five of Christ’s attributes to become better people, encouraging us all to try to live the kind of life that Christ’s life exemplified.

It will enrich your lives and those you chose to share it with, just like the production itself.
