Two Sweet Christmas Books filled with faith

-


 If you are looking for something sweet to read this winter, you can't go wrong with either of these two books by Christian authors. Both have lots of great faith moments, depth, and clean romance and are short enough to fit into a busy schedule.

Christmas Blessings by Judith McNees


This is a sweet clean contemporary romance that I read and recommend. It's a great choice if you are looking for a cozy book to read this winter. Description below:
Can two opposites look past appearances to see each other’s hearts?

Lauren Blessing has a problem. All the men she dates turn out to be jerks. When the latest in a string of bad relationships ends, she takes a break from dating for a while. After all, she has everything she needs to be happy…right?

Parker Johnson has a problem of his own. He can’t seem to shake his feelings for his high school crush. When she winds up suddenly single a week before Christmas, her friends do what they can to get them together. But how can he make her fall for him if he can barely speak to her?

As they spend time together, will Parker open up enough to show Lauren who he is inside? Will Lauren allow God to help her let go of what she wants to get what she needs?

This novella takes place in the same fictional universe as the Tranquil Shores Romance series. It can be read as a standalone, but if you wish to read them in chronological order, it takes place between books 2 and 3.

Until We All Share Joy by Heather Wood


I recently read this historical romance that begins in 1867 in Chicago. It's another sweet clean novella to read around Christmas or anytime.

Read the description below:

Titan Dinsmore loves his family, but as the youngest of five, he craves his older siblings’ respect—and a little distance. A chance meeting at the train station with a forlorn young lady turns into a growing attraction between them. But Titan soon discovers there is a difference between wanting to be treated as an adult and truly stepping up to lead. How can he help tenderhearted Nora see beyond her father’s abandonment and rest in the love of her Heavenly Father? And will his secret plan to restore her family for the perfect Christmas together win Nora’s undying admiration or only lead to greater heartache?

This warm standalone Christmas novella highlights a lesser-known member of the beloved Dinsmore family in the Finding Home series. With all the charm of a Victorian Christmas and yet the realistic challenges of navigating difficult relationships in a Christlike manner, this book is one to be savored throughout the holiday season and beyond. 

Until We All Share Joy can be purchased here.

Review of The Designated Valentine by Drew Taylor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In The Designated Valentine Drew Taylor weaves past and present together to gradually reveal how Karoline and Mason went from long time best friends to enemies to love. This is a sweet, clean romantic comedy that doesn’t overdo the comedy and only contains kissing, though it does discuss the battle with attraction the main characters have and how they want to be careful because of their faith. Drew includes a warning at the beginning of the book that there is also some mention of alcohol as this book deals with a past addiction. Drinking is not promoted. Both Karoline and Mason think they’ve matured since they last spoke three years before, but they still have room to grow and as a reader I enjoyed my front row seat to see that growth. It’s a great representation of the battles we often face in relationships of all kinds — some from our misperceptions of who we are because of things people in our lives have said or done, and some because we struggle to forgive thinking the o

Bringing Christ to Christmas Gift Giving

What better way to put Christ back into Christmas than to give Christ centered gifts! When our first child had his first Christmas we decided to give only 3 gifts as a reminder that Jesus received 3 gifts from the wisemen. Each gift had a category: want, need, and spiritual. As the children have gotten older and are adults, the want and need often overlap.  There have been so many benefits from this. Limiting the gifts has been great at keeping the focus more on Christ. Rather than spending this season figuring out what they want, our children's focus has been freed up for other things. They are actually often at a loss, because gifts for themselves are not their top priority. It has been a benefit for us as parents, not just financially, because we don't have to stress out about getting them the perfect gift.  Another special benefit is getting to search for something to help them in their spiritual walk. Through the years the availability of Christ centered things has grown a

FOS 1- Fruit of the Spirit Bible Study - Intro

My granddaughter recently had her first birthday. The day after her party, my daughter gave her the Bitty Baby doll that my mother-in-law had given my daughter for her first birthday. It was a huge hit! A mixture of joy and seriousness came over my granddaughter as she simultaneously loved on her "new" baby and tried to figure out how to take care of her. My husband and I had given her a doll stroller for Bitty Baby and she put her baby in it and started strolling her around the house like it was her job. She checked in every few minutes with her baby, and, even though it was nap time, she pushed her around for forty-five minutes. I think she would have kept going if we hadn't told her it was nap time. What a blessing to behold the delight and joy of a child! In my recent newsletter, I spoke about  love . Above I mentioned  joy . Those happen to be the first two characteristics listed as the fruit of the Spirit.  Galatians 5:22-23 ESV But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
