The most extraordinary act of giving the world would ever know happened at Christmas. Yet do you find yourself lost without the ability to respond appropriately - how can we thank God sufficiently for the gift of his Son? The heavenly Father only desires one thing, the gift of our heart, in return. The life-changing message of The Jesus Gift is thoughtfully wrapped in the moving words and music of cherished Christmas songs (ranging from favorite carols to contemporary offerings by Michael W. Smith and Shannon Wexelberg) and beloved standards (such as Light of the Stable and The Jesus Gift). Veteran arranger Tom Fettke and master orchestrator Russell Mauldin have fashioned a 37-minute musical that is long on impact yet moderately easy to prepare and to present. Featuring a single narrator and several solos, this musical is ideal for choirs of limited size or rehearsal time. The Jesus Gift is the perfect offering for your congregation and community to experience this Christmastime!
