Christmas Stories of Love and Hope (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479614837)

In the spirit of the beloved Christmas in My Heart(R) series, Cathy Weaver offers this collection of stories that encourage, inspire, and challenge. They embrace the entirety of what we experience at Christmastime-the traditions we hold dear, the feelings of wonder, and at times, the disappointment and loss-as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.

Some of the stories show individuals reflecting on Christmases from years past and the simple acts of love and kindness that brought joy and renewed faith; others contain simple meditations on the beauty and meaning of the season. In some narratives, individuals undergoing trial and hardship find hope and healing through a new understanding of God's faithfulness. Also included are heartwarming animal tales that even the youngest readers can enjoy. Weaver hopes to show readers how our heavenly Father "heals us, restores us, and brings good out of life's most painful moments."

This heartwarming collection of stories shows how the gifts we give to each other reflect the gift of forgiveness and love that God gave to us on that glorious night in Bethlehem.
