Description

by Jay Gary

Written in 1994, The Star of 2000 was the first book to anticipate Christ’s 2,000th jubilee. Through stories, projections and inspiration it describes how these commemorations would unfold from 1999 to 2001 to become the the ‘greatest celebration in the history of civilization.’ Discover the dream which once inspired the Magi to embark upon a journey of hope, as this book describes how the bimillennial year of 2000 galvanized attention worldwide, from all walks of life. Includes discussion guide, bibliography and suggestions to mark the turn of the millennium.

Reveals what Walt Disney’s “builder of spectaculars” worked on for ten years (see p. 21). Uncovers Christ’s gifts to civilization through tributes by world leaders (see p. 30). Documents the history of the “Star of 2000” dream since 1975 (see p. 39). Predicts how the world will likely celebrate “an entire Christmas year” during 2000 (see p. 50). Describes how Christ’s 2,000th anniversary will unfold in 3 stages from now to 2001 (see p. 59). Names five “mega-images” which have shaped our approach to the year 2000 (see p. 64). Shares how to focus on Christ in the midst of new millennium celebrations (see p. 92). Suggests 25 ways to “light a candle” for Christ’s 2,000th birthday (see p. 131). Looks at how the church can shape advent of the third millennium up to A.D. 2033 (see p. 146). Offers a chapter by chapter discussion guide for personal or group study (p. 160).
