The Bible states in John 8: 32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

What is the truth about Christmas? Is it nothing more than a pagan (non-Christian) ritual and too commercialized (exploited for profit)? Should we celebrate it? Does the Bible say anything at all about this holiday?

In his book The Truth About Christmas, Clarence answers these and other questions such as Was Jesus born on December 25th? Why was he born in a smelly stable and not some place else? Were there really three wise men that came to the stable to worship the baby Jesus? Were these men actually led by a star to Bethlehem or were they led by some other sign? Is it wrong to give gifts? Should we have decorated trees in our homes? What about outdoor decorations? and so on.

The "Bible" states in 1 Peter 2: 21 "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps."

What was the example Jesus left us to follow? Was it one of poverty and lack, or one of abundance? Many people believe that he was poor financially and materially when he lived upon the earth. And many of those same people believe that he and his disciples were beggars subsisting on the handouts of others.

In his book "Was Jesus A Poor Man?" Clarence, with over 20 years of study, shows us through the Word of God whether this belief is true or false by tackling such topics as Did Jesus have a house? Did he have a job? Did he pay taxes? Did his ministry have a treasury? Did he wear designer clothing? Did he have a car? and so on.
