The Christmas Note

I just received “The Christmas Note”, Donna VanLiere’s new, inspirational novel. While it’s a fairly simple, sweet, easy to read book – the truth is, once I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down until I had read cover to cover. The same author who brought us several other heartwarming Christmas stories such as “The Christmas Shoes” has done it again in adding this to her wonderful collection.

I think one of the main things that touched me from the book, was the reminder of there being so many around us in each of little worlds, and how we can truly make it a better place through being open to the little possibilities our way. And while I know this is a novel, I have lived these types of experiences myself to know they really do happen.

I think this is a wonderful book, one that can be shared with the whole family, and I can see sitting down in front of a warm fire this Christmas season with a hot cup of chocolate in one hand and “The Christmas Note” in another as I read a chapter at a time with my family.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Thank You, God, For Loving Me

Max Lucado is back again with another adorable book for little ones in the form of a board book. This time its Little Hermie in “Thank You, God, For Loving Me”, a wonderful way for little ones to learn about God’s love for them in a format of a short, easy to read book with cute illustrations.

In this book, Little Hermie and his baby bug garden friends teach little ones about God’s love for them. I’ve read these books with my little nephews and nieces and it’s been a hit with them.
