Christmas In My Heart Book 21
$20.29
It’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. 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.

John Chrysostom : The Preacher In The Emperor’s Court
$11.99Add to cartThere was something about John Chrysostom and the words he spoke that lit up his world.
He was an important leader of the early church, known so much for his preaching and public speaking that he was given the nickname Golden Mouth. He spoke his mind and followed his convictions. He refused to host the lavish social gatherings that his predecessors had laid on. This meant that John Chrysostom really annoyed the wealthy citizens of Constantinople. He spoke out against how many influential Christians cared little for the poor.“It is madness to fill your cupboards with clothing while other human beings stand naked and trembling with the cold so that they can hardly hold themselves upright.”
It didn’t matter if you were rich or poor John spoke the truth – emphatically. Even the empress fell under his criticism which eventually led to his exile and death.
