Angels and donkeys

This is a book full of beautiful stories that will help you to see the Biblical story of Christ's birth in a new way. The writing is beautiful and the the stories provide a very different look at the characters of the Biblical narrative.

This wonderful little book makes available to English-language readers the stories told by Huguenot pastor Andre Trocme in the village of Le Chambon in southern France during the dark days of rule, first by the collaborationist regime of French fascists Henri-Phillipe Petain and Pierre Laval and later directly by the German occupation regime. Trocme and his wife, Magda, both pacifists, had come to Le Chambon in 1934 from northern France where they had been ministering among industrial workers.

Perfectly marvelous. The triumph of light over darkness.
