World history is divided by the birth of Jesus into B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (anno Domini—Latin, meaning “in the year of the Lord”). It’s been around 2010 years since Jesus was born.
Many think Jesus was actually born in the year 6 B.C. because Cyrenius ordered a census in 7-6 B.C. (Luke 2:1-2). And King Herod, who ordered children under age 2 to be killed, died in 4 B.C.
Jesus birth was absolutely unique.
- His Father was God (John 3:16).
- His mother was a virgin (Matt. 1:23).
- He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35).
- He came from heaven (John 6:28).
- Angels announced His birth (Luke 2:9-10).
- He received worship (Matt. 2:11).
- He hid His glory (Phil. 2:5-8).
- He inherited no sin (2 Cor. 5:21).
- He was born to be the Savior of mankind (Matt 1:21).
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, His “birth certificate” was accurately completed. (You’ll find details in Isa. 7:14;9:6;40:10-11; 42:6,12; Psalm 2:7;16:10; Gen. 49:10; Micah 5:2.)

In November 1975, Buddy and Pat Harrison launched Harrison House Publishers, releasing their first titles in 1976. Since then, Harrison House has published and distributed more than 100 million books in 42 languages and in more than 175 countries. Since Dr. Harrison's homegoing in November of 1998, Harrison House has continued to publish the uncompromised Word of God.
2009 brought unprecedented changes to the publishing world, and Harrison House experienced changes as well. Press Group, a local printer and vendor, purchased Harrison House in April 2009, merging two complementary companies into one. With printing facilities, warehousing, and technology now under one roof, Harrison House is able to provide faster turn times, more accurate order processing, and better stock levels than ever before. We are truly poised to further the vision God put in the hearts of Buddy and Pat Harrison over 30 years ago: taking the Word of God to the world, impacting generations for His Kingdom.
