A Miser A Manger A Miracle edition by Marianne Jordan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
At first I was reluctant to read this book because it almost sounded like heresy to mix the story of the birth of the Savior of the World with a Dickens tale from centuries later. But I'm glad I overcame my reluctance because the pairing of the two stories made me see the Christmas story from a different perspective. The greedy, selfish, evil innkeeper, Ebenezer, travels with three different angels on journeys to the past, present, and future. His assistant Isaac (as Dickens' Cratchit) allows Mary and Joseph to use the stable; Ebenezer had already turned them away earlier in the day. Ebenezer's visit to the future took him through Jesus's adult life, and it is through his encounters with the Savior that he was saved. The story is so well-written that the reader feels like he or she is hearing Mary's cries when she is in labor. We can almost feel Jesus's eyes upon us as He looks at Ebenezer and into his heart; we see the miracles and hear the Lord's words. We cringe when the Messiah is scourged, and we watch His last moments on the cross. Every time Jesus asks Ebenezer, "Do you believe in Me?" we feel compelled to answer. May everyone who reads this book answer, "Yes, Lord. You are the Messiah, the Savior of the World, the only Way to the Father."
Before we begin, The Christmas Carol is a touchy subject in my house. To my husband, it is not Christmas without it and yet, I could easily do without it. This version is the exception to my rule.
This insightful book takes place at Jesus's birth. The innkeeper is the miser, however, I felt that word was almost too nice for him. He almost seemed heartless, worse than Scrooge. But through the miracles of Christ's birth he was changed.
The characters were so well written. I almost did not want to read it because the innkeeper was so hateful, but I knew, from the Dicken's tale that there would be a reversal to his story.
Such a wonderful book and story I would highly recommend it to all of my friends, family and all.
An amazing story written from two very different stories the life of Christ from the Bible in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; and the classic 'Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens.
The author wove the two stories together creating a wonderful, entertaining Christmas story. The entire book was incredible with Ebenezer, the angels, the Inn with Mary and Joseph, the life of Christ and the Resurrection. This is an inspiration, fun read for everyone.
I wondered how both stories could be blended so that you kept both intact but when you read it, of course (head slap), it is so easy. This is a great story and keeps true to the first Christmas story and also keeps the spirit of A Christmas Carol throughout. I had a good time trying to guess which character was which from A Christmas Carol. If you are familiar with both stories then it is a joy to read, I giggled throughout and was awed by the message when it was over. Well Done. I bought it on and then ordered a hard copy after I read it. I also told everyone who I know reads that this is a great book.
Honestly, I thought this book would be boring...wrong. Really wrong.
The story is based off the story of Scrooge. But takes place in Bethlehem at the time of Christ's birth. The inn keeper, Ebenezer refuses to give Joseph and Mary a room because they have no money.
Angels appear to Ebenezer that night and he sees his past, present and future, including seeing Jesus grow up and ultimately die on the cross. He even sees the tomb as it held his body, then it didn't.
Well written and worth reading any time of the year.
A Miser, A Manger, A Miracle
by Marianne Jordan
We all know the story of Charles' Dickens "A Christmas Carol"...
but do we know the first Christmas Carol?
This Christian fiction story includes familiar characters including
Ebenezer, a sister who passed away, a charming nephew, a hard-working assistant, and an enthusiastic but sick little boy ...
angels rather than spirits ....
and Jesus.
Instead of taking place in London,
we find ourselves in the little town of Bethlehem.
Light was expensive. Darkness was free.
Innkeeper Ebenezer, who unhappy and grumpy, is thrilled that his town is jam-packed with people, thinking of the money he'd make.
3 angels take him on an unforgettable journey that changes his life's view ... thanks to the baby who was born in his stable.
"Love is stronger than hateful words."
"Jesus doesn't want you to die for Him; He died for you .... He wants you to live for Him. Heed the lessons you have learned this night, Ebenezer!"
Dickens might not have cared for this version,
but I loved the way that Jesus' story was woven into the familiar classic.
Hard not to fall in love with these characters.
It was easy, medium-paced reading with a pleasant writing style.
I enjoyed reading this book
and looking forward to reading others by Marianne Jordan.
(I put "some violence" because of the slaying of the boys in Bethlehem and the Good Friday story.
No swear words or other bad language were actually used in the story, but strongly implied.)
I find it difficult to imagine any review of this book to be less than 5 stars, however such is the nature of readers. One may see the story as wonderful while another may not.
The author has completed what I hope will become a classic. She takes the classic, 'A Christmas Carol' by Dickens and combines it with the Biblical truths of Jesus' birth, death and resurrection that will put the Christmas spirit back into any 'Scrooge.'
This is the first book written by Marianne Jordan. I hope it isn't the last.
