Description: The Nutcracker was first performed in 1892 and quickly became a holiday tradition, one that continues for many families to this day. In The Gift of the Nutcracker, Matt Rawle takes a look at this Christmas classic in a new way - through the lens of faith. In keeping with his "Pop in Culture" theme, Rawle uses this iconic tale to help us understand God's greatest gift of the Christ child and of the kingdom Christ came to build. Much like Clara, we are all caught in an Advent season, pondering a most extraordinary gift.
