Christmas In My Heart Book 24
$23.99Add to cartIn a world that oftentimes seems to have lost its moorings, where knowledge increases at such a dizzying rate that no one can keep up with it, it is good to back away from it all in islands of serenity-and ponder the deeper meaning.
Which brings each of us to the ultimate question: Where in all this nonstop chaotic frenzy of hype and self-promotion is God?
When we do this, inevitably our thoughts travel back, back, back in time to a lowly stable in a little hamlet called Bethlehem, inside which a baby was being born. And high overhead: a blazing star.
Christmas was also born that day.

Christmas In My Heart 20
$20.29Add to cartIt’s truly a miracle in today’s publishing world for any book series to last five – much less twenty years! Yet this is what Christmas in My Heart has done. No one is more surprised at this than Joe Wheeler; he attributes the series’ stubborn refusal to die to be a God-thing. That somehow there is something about each year’s collection of stories that so speaks to hearts everywhere that “completists” (those who have all the books in the series) cannot even imagine facing a new Christmas season without a new collection to feed their souls.
This stellar collection features luminaries such as Elizabeth Goudge, Margaret E. Sangster, Temple Bailey, Margaret Weymouth Jackson, Mike Huckabee, David Doig, Christine Whiting Parmenter, Grace Noll Crowell, and Isobel Stewart.

Christmas In My Heart 19
$20.29Add to cartIt takes a lot more work to keep a marriage together for life than any bride and groom ever conceptualize. so many stress points over so many years that it’s a miracle any marriage survives.
Half of this year’s Christmas stories have to do with marriage, most of them tackling such related subjects as alienation, separation, misunderstandings, divorce, reconciliation, and, of course, love.
But with all these roadblocks barring the way to a marriage that lasts a lifetime (half of all marriages end in divorce), there are solutions to almost every problem. Kathleen Norris puts it this way: “Marriage is a job. Happiness or unhappiness has nothing to do with it. There was never a marriage that could no be made a success, nor a marriage that could not have ended in bitterness and failure.”

Christmas In My Heart 18
$20.29Add to cartA treasury of old-fashioned Christmas stories.
In this 18th volume of Christmas in My Heart, Joe Wheeler calls us to “restore the simplicity and sanity to a Christmas season that has lost its spiritual moorings.” It is a message for our times.
This Christmas, we can return to a simpler holiday model: families getting together, making Christmas gifts by hand, giving gifts to those who can’t give in return (anonymously if possible), visiting the sick and lonely, and above all, letting Christ reign at the heart of all we do and say. The outstanding stories in this book will provide ample inspiration!“If a child has never had to sacrifice for the good of others, that child will most likely grow up to be spiritually stunted. . . . the fondest memories generally have to do with tough times.”-Joe L. Wheeler

Christmas In My Heart Book 16
$20.29Add to cartAs we reach the proverbial age of “sweet sixteen” (young for a woman, but old indeed for a book series), it is appropriate to ask, “Why?” Today, when almost nothing lasts and fame itself supposedly expires in 15 minutes, here we have this simple little series of Christmas story anthologies that perversely refuses to die. Like the timeless Velveteen Rabbit, it becomes but more cherished as the years go by.
If the formula could be bottled, it would be priceless. In essence, it would be an indefinable mixture of stories–new, recent, old, and very old–by authors famous and never-heard-of-before; stories that deeply touch the heartstrings, unlock the tear ducts, make you laugh, yet retain the spiritual dimension of Christmas.

Christmas In My Heart Book 14
$20.29Add to cartEven though Christmas in My Heart is now the longest-running Christmas story series in America, none of us take its continued survival for granted. Certainly Joe Wheeler does not. He and his wife, Connie, are determined that each collection will be the best yet. And that is a tall order- yet readers have been telling them year after year, “This is the best one yet!” From the very beginning they have worried, “What if we run out of the best stories?” However, so many heart-touching Christmas stories (new, recent, and old) have flooded in-and the Wheelers have unearthed many more in old magazines and books-that their supply of “five-tissue stories” is greater now than it was at the beginning! For every story that makes it, hundreds do not. Only those stories that deeply touch the heart are admitted into these pages.

Sangster, Temple Bailey, Margaret Weymouth Jackson, Mike Huckabee, David Doig, Christine Whiting Parmenter, Grace Noll Crowell, and Isobel Stewart. In a world where society appears intent on stripping the Christmas season of the divine reason for its very existence, spiritually based Christmas stories such as these may provide a refuge from electronic strangulation, and an opportunity to read aloud heart-tugging stories incorporating values worth living by to children, teens and adults of all ages. Since we become our favorite stories, the right or wrong story-choices will inevitably determine our eternal destinies. – Joseph Leininger Wheeler.

Touched By A Miracle
$20.99Add to cartAuthor and compiler Nathalie Ladner-Bischoff brings to light another collection of true miracle stories to show us once again how near heaven is to earth. Like her first book, An Angel’s Touch, these stories of divine interventions, angel encounters, and prevailing prayer show what can happen when God touches human beings and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. They also open our eyes to the truth that there’s more to life than what we can see, touch, and feel.

Christmas In My Heart Book 12
$20.29Add to cartTo one of the longest-running Christmas story anthologies in American history we add yet another volume–our twelfth in 12 years. The series is one of the finest libraries of Christmas stories in English. What’s the secret of its appeal? Perhaps it’s the lump-in-the-throat factor, the moving stories that grip the heart and moisten the eyes. Fortunately, all 12 volumes are still available in print at the original price.
In this year’s collection Senator John McCain of Arizona recalls his most special Christmas, celebrated in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp, where men of faith, joyful and triumphant in the face of torment, exchanged gifts they did not have.
Another selection tells the story of the birth of “Silent Night,” one of the songs the prisoners sang. Other stories tell of Christmas money lost and then better-than-found; of relationships mended; of temptations trumped; of orphans nurtured; of lovers reunited. In these pages the human spirit, with all its passion and pride, faith and foibles, finds hope once again in a manger.
