5 Stars!


In Christmas Uncut, Carl Laferton masterfully unveils the genuine essence of the Christmas story, offering a less embellished but profoundly impactful perspective on the birth of Jesus. Laferton skillfully navigates the Nativity scene, stripping away the layers of tradition and pageantry to reveal the heart of the Gospel message.

I found this book to be a refreshing reminder of the profound truths often obscured by the glitter and tinsel of the season. Laferton astutely delves into the implications of Jesus's birth, connecting it seamlessly to the eventual sacrifice on the cross. The revelation that God's anger was borne by Jesus during the crucifixion adds a sobering layer to the narrative, compelling readers to contemplate the depth of divine love.

Christmas Uncut serves as an excellent resource, especially for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Christmas story. The concise yet impactful exploration of the real events surrounding Jesus's birth makes it an ideal giveaway for Christmas services, inviting individuals to ponder the profound "why" behind the holiday.

Laferton artfully weaves together the traditional and the unconventional, infusing the narrative with humor and wit. The vignettes about Christmas pageants effectively highlight the disparities between the idealized versions and the raw reality of the events.

Christmas Uncut stands out for its gospel-centered approach. Each chapter focuses on real people, places, and hardships associated with Jesus's birth, dispelling inaccuracies and human additions to the Nativity story. Laferton's writing effortlessly guides readers through doubts, faith, and the true meaning of Christmas, presenting it not as a fluffy and cute tale but as a real and impactful event.

Laferton's reminder that the first Christmas is intricately connected to the first Easter underscores the narrative's enduring significance. Christmas Uncut excels in delivering a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the Christmas message, making it valuable to everyone! I received a copy of Christmas Uncut via The Good Book Company. I am not required nor was I asked to write a positive review nor am I paid to do so. The words above are my honest review of this insightful book!
