From the Publisher:
This is a book for people who already know the standard nativity – the baby, the stable, the manger…
But it includes one character you were probably never told about – an enormous red dragon. We didn’t make him up. His story is tucked away in the lesser-known pages of the Bible and his terrible deeds are verifiable facts of history. Though few people are aware of him, he is fighting a battle in which we all must choose sides.
So this Christmas, let us fill in the gaps as we introduce you to the weirdest nativity.
