With lucid brevity and timely insight, Rebecca McLaughlin’s book wisely anticipates both the cognitive and emotional questions in the mind and heart of the skeptic. This is exactly the kind of cultural apologetics we need for today—one that is wise and winsome. Take up, read and then share.
Derwin L. Gray (Lead Pastor
Don’t let the size of this book fool you. It may be small, but the content is BIG. My friend Rebecca has written a book for seeker and believer alike. Bring your questions, concerns, fears, and doubts. Rebecca, like a close friend, takes you by the hand and addresses them beautifully in this book.
So many people have been shaken by the COVID pandemic; we’re fragile, not in control, often lonely or angry, and longing for a God to believe in. But we have to know it’s true, and that is why Rebecca McLaughlin’s little Christmas book is so timely. She tells the story of Christmas, gives the facts that ground it in history, defends the miraculous, and explains the relevance of it all. (Founder

What a gift! This little book shows us that rational grown-ups don’t need to stop believing in Christmas. It’s the perfect thing to send with a Christmas card.
Timothy Keller (The late Founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City and Chairm
Is Christmas Unbelievable? is a highly accessible and crystal clear case for the historicity both of the written Gospels and of Jesus himself—and for why it matters. Presenting her essays as an explanation of the meaning of Christmas only makes her case more interesting and more likely to be read. A great gift book too.
Glen Scrivener (Evangelist and blogger)
A joy to read—this could be the best gift your loved ones receive.
Dane Ortlund (Senior Pastor
Rebecca McLaughlin has done it again! Assuming nothing and explaining everything, she makes a brief but compelling case for how and why Christmas reflects the deepest truths of the gospel. Highly recommended.
Russell Cowburn (Professor of Experimental Physics
If you think the Christmas story is a fairy tale for kids, I strongly recommend you read this book!
Quina Aragon (Author
Rebecca graciously addresses our hesitations about the incredible claims of Christianity, and specifically Christmas. Her friendly and sincere tone complements her call for us to seriously consider and believe the greatest story ever told—a story that extends beyond Christmas.
John Lennox (Emeritus Professor of Mathematics
This is the ideal book if you are a sceptic. Rebecca McLaughlin is very much in tune with the big questions many of us ask. She cuts her way through the common misconceptions surrounding the Christian message and demonstrates convincingly why the idea that God visited our planet is far from a Star Wars or Harry Potter fantasy.
John Onwuchekwa (Pastor
I don’t know if there’s any holiday as familiar as Christmas. I do know that our familiarity has robbed us of our sense of wonder. Rebecca’s short book resurrects that hope as she answers four questions we didn’t realize stood in the way of our joy. Her wit, insight, and brilliance come together to give a short book that can be read during a long car ride. She takes the most unbelievable story ever told and does more than just make it clear and convincing—she makes it real! Tangible. Holdable. Compelling. Accessible. Which makes for the best sort of gift. A memorable one.
