I bought this book because I'm a big Kendra Norman-Bellamy fan but since it wasn't ONLY a KNB book, I didn't have much of a drive to read it. Yesterday, I cracked it open as I was lying in bed feeling sorry for myself (long story) and read the first story by Stacy Hawkings Adams and got hooked. There were a couple of stories that I wasn't crazy about but overall, this book was really a breath of fresh air. Some of the stories were so heartwarming that while I was reading them, I felt like I was watching a great movie. I'd love to see Kendra make hers into a full length novel. Several of the others would make great full length novels too, including Stacy's. If this book is still around when the holiday rolls around, I know what I'll be stuffing in my family's Christmas stockings.

Kendra Norman-Bellamy is one of my favorite authors. The book has 22 short stories and all of them are special in their own way. A good book to read if you are feeling down. It shows love, hope, and faith.

I too am a HUGE fan of Kendra Norman-Bellamy - everything she writes & publishes is FABULOUS! However, this one just stumped me - I really struggled with it and had to force myself to go to the next writer. I made it to chapter 11 (out of the 11 I enjoyed 2!) and just couldn't continue. I tried everything in me to continue to the end but just couldn't do it and this is a first especially with her books. She is such a wonderful author. Yes the stories are of love, hope and inspiration but it just didn't impress me this round. Sorry, I gave this read a 3-star because I just in general love her work!

This book is comprised of short stories that touch upon forgiveness, compassion, and understanding. The theme is Christmas time but most important it reflects the goodness of God and His love.

OMG these authors did a fantastic job of putting together Christian stories that we or someone we know have gone through. I already knew the book would be good just by the authors that were part of the team such as Haley, McCollors, Adams, and Bellamy. I don't want to ruin the book/stories by giving too much away but there was one story that really touched me and it was the one where: (this little boy wanted to find his mommy a soul mate and to be so small he knew what qualities to look for in a man for her to a tee. It was touching because I am a mother of a now 8 year old and he does and says the most outrageous things. Once again very touching.) I hope all the authors can/will get together once again to create another book of hopes, dreams, and having faith.

I'm looking forward to reading some of the stories from the new authors!

Get the book you won't be disappointed!
