This year is producing a bumper crop of Christmas books. I have not yet received Finding Christmas, but a perusal of the Foreword and the initial chapter below whets my appetite. Read it all the way to the end of the excerpt and tell me if you can manage to walk away untouched!
Christmas is everywhere . . . even where you least expect it.
Join award-winning author and storyteller James Calvin Schaap as he uncovers the grace, joy, and love of the season through seven heartwarming tales of miracle moments in a messy world. This beautiful and inspiring collection of contemporary Christmas stories will remind you what grace looks like--and where to find it.
James Calvin Schaap, a professor of English at Dordt College and president of the Chrysostom Society, is the award-winning author of twenty-two books. He lives in Sioux Center, Iowa.
I have been forbidden to buy any more books until after the move. I have been ordered to disperse some of the ones I have (that aren't really important to me). I want all three you just wrote about!
I don't suppose you'd be willing to stop reviewing books until after January 11th and my move? ;)
I'm in my "fabulous fifties" and my husband and I have been married 25 years. We have a son and a daughter who are both in college. so we are reluctantly entering the empty-nest years. I was an RN in my former (pre-kids) life which comes in handy as I serve in our church's care ministry.
Chatting over a cup of coffee with a friend to encourage and support one another (and share a laugh or even a tear) is one of my favorite things to do.

Thanks again for a good review of a book I might not have heard about otherwise.
