Christmas has a way of slowing time, if only for a moment long enough for us to see what truly matters. In A Christmas Star, Raymond McKinney invites readers to walk alongside Sam Duncan on a quiet Christmas Eve that becomes anything but ordinary. What begins as a simple errand to buy flour for his wife turns into a journey through memory, faith, and mystery; a walk that leads Sam past the ghosts of his boyhood and into a divine encounter that will change his life forever. In a world that often rushes past the meaning of the season, A Christmas Star reminds us that miracles don't always come with bright lights or heavenly choirs. Sometimes they arrive softly, in the shape of a barefoot girl, a paper star, and the echo of a message long waiting to be heard. Blending small-town nostalgia, heartfelt faith, and the wonder of Christmas, this story speaks to those who believe that angels still walk among us, and that the light of one star can still lead us home.
