From the Back Cover

The christmas flurry of parties, shopping, decorating and a thousand details can quickly frazzle and deplete. Activities that promise so much can leave you feeling a puzzling loneliness that doesn’t mesh with all the frivolity. Or perhaps your life is not about vague discontent, because you’re going through very real and serious circumstances right now, and you don’t think you’ll ever feel light and hopeful again. The answer to either scenario is to take a deep breath, gather your thoughts and find a quiet space to focus on a tiny baby born in a stable long ago. His story is God made flesh—heaven meets Earth—and He promises to be with those who seek Him. Within the pages of Christmas Promises, you will find refreshment for your heart, mind and soul as you read personalized Scriptures of God’s view of you and your circumstances. And you will be refreshed and inspired by true stories of people who have received God’s provision and restoration—even in life’s bleakest moments. May you be blessed by the gift of God’s promises today and always. And may you trust in Him wholeheartedly to fulfill His promises to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, December 15, 2008

This review is from: Christmas Promises: Heavenly Gifts for the Holiday Season (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful book. I read it over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed every story. It's all about how God has carried out His promises during the Christmas seasons over the years for many of the author's friends and family. All the stories are true and many are heart wrenching. I particularly liked the notes from God at the beginning and ending of each story all based on words from the bible, and the personal prayer that ended each story, making the story meaningful to the reader. Each story proves that God does keep His promises if we are willing to look at our circumstances in that manner. If we are willing to allow God to work in our lives and solve our problems we will see his promises fulfilled. 5 stars for this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Savor the Season, November 22, 2008

This review is from: Christmas Promises: Heavenly Gifts for the Holiday Season (Hardcover)

This is a sweet gifty type book. It is small and hard cover. The paper is a buff color and the typeface is pretty. Most of the pages have borders on them. It is not really a book to sit down and read through, but rather one to pick up and savor as part of your prayer time. The sections include pages of beautifully scripted scripture quotes on a theme, written sort of like a letter from God. Those pages are decorated with a Christmas theme. They are followed by a poem or some heart-warming story that illustates the theme. The book is a nice reminder to slow down, to remember the reason for the season and to savor it.
