I’m very excited about the three Christmas ebooks I’ve
uploaded to Kindle recently.
The newest is 24 Christmases. This book was 24
years in the making.
In 1985,
as I was preparing to order Christmas cards from a Christian supplier, God told
me that He had given me the gift of writing, and I should use it to bless
people at Christmas. That year, I wrote my first Christmas story. The story of
Mary as a dramatic monologue.
Five
other monologues—of people who were involved with that event so long
ago—followed. Joseph … the innkeeper … Mary’s mother … the youngest shepherd … the
servant of a wise man.
The next
story was a romance. One year I wrote a modern Christmas fable. Another year, I
wrote a short play that was used to take Christmas to two local malls. Other
stories contained different perspectives, but one focus—the impact that first
Christmas has had on mankind through the ages.
Unfortunately,
there were a few scattered years when I didn’t write a Christmas story. Life
interfered with my plans
James and
I have friends spread across several countries around the world. Many of them
have contacted me to tell me how much the stories mean to them. They anxiously
await their copy of the Christmas story and make it part of their family’s
celebration. What a blessing that is to me.
I pray
these stories will bless you as much as you have blessed me.
The
picture on the cover of this book was taken in my den a year or two ago.
The other 2 Christmas ebooks are novellas.
Christmas Confusion
Lori Compton, mayor of Mistletoe,
needs ideas for ways to prop up the sagging economy. After having her heart
broken by the former pastor, she doesn’t want to spend time with the new
pastor. Rev. Russell Brown has plenty of ideas, even one that includes his
spending the rest of his life with the beautiful mayor. Will Lori be able to
move beyond her hurts and recognize God’s intentions for the future of the town
– and for her own future?
The Best Medicine
When Thomas Stanton shows up at
the holiday party of Rose Fletcher’s best friend, his appearance reminds Rose
of the infatuation she felt for him when he worked on her father’s ranch.
Although her heart wants to continue those long ago feelings, her mind reminds
her that he doesn’t share her faith in God. Thomas can’t understand why Rose
seems so standoffish. Will it take God’s intervention to show these two people
just what He has planned all along?
I am offering one free copy of The
Best Medicine to a winner chosen from those leaving comments on the
blog. Please tell us where you live as well, at least what state or province.
