The "Christmas Story" has many variations, depending on the form and details given by the sect, denomination, local cultural beliefs, Christian writer, Hollywood movie, the year's most popular preacher, hymns and popular "Christmas" songs, public nativity scenes, and local church nativity plays. Misinformation abounds. If you populate your nativity scene with cattle and oxen and drummer boys, three kings from the east, and a feeding trough in which lays a baby Jesus with a halo, you have missed the true story, the biblical story of the birth of Jesus the Christ. I invite you to discover the genuine Christmas Story, which begins with an evil King, and ends with the birth of the King of Kings James D. Quiggle was born in 1952 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He grew up in Kansas and the Texas Panhandle. In the early 1970s he joined the United States Air Force. At his first permanent assignment in Indian Springs, Nevada in a small Baptist church, the pastor introduced him to Jesus and soon after he was saved. Over the next ten years those he met in churches from the East Coast to the West Coast, mature Christian men, poured themselves into mentoring him. In the 1970s he was gifted with the Scofield Bible Course from Moody Bible Institute. As he completed his studies his spiritual gift of teaching became even more apparent. He earned a bachelor's degree from Bethany Bible College during the 1980s while still in the Air Force. Between 2006–2008, after his career in the Air Force and with his children grown up, he decided to continue his education. He enrolled in Bethany Divinity College and Seminary and earned a Master of Arts in Religion and a Master of Theological Studies.As an extension of his spiritual gift of teaching, he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to begin writing books. James Quiggle is now a Christian author with over fifty commentaries on Bible books and doctrines. He is an editor for the Evangelical Dispensational Quarterly Journal published by Scofield Biblical Institute and Theological Seminary.He continues to write and has a vibrant teaching ministry through social media.
