Christmas Wishes

Beschreibung

Seven new Christmas tales for grownups. Short stories of adults who due to cynicism, commercialism and isolationism find themselves detached from the Spirit of Christmas. They've got the 'Holiday Blues.' Have they been expecting too much from the Christmas Holidays, or too little? And what does it take to reconnect with the spirit of the season, and discover its true meaning? It can happen in response to a simple heartfelt gesture. Sometimes it takes being forced firmly but kindly out of our comfort zone. At other times it's an alarming event that shakes us out of our slumber. Occasionally it requires the intercession of non-worldly guides. Join the characters of Christmas Wishes as they shrug off the darkness that envelopes those who have, for a variety of reasons, armored themselves against the true Spirit of Christmas, and share their joy when they are once again bathed in its light. Welcome Christmas Wishes into your home to take its place in your family's Holiday traditions. The simple message will brighten your soul, and share its joy, not just in the Yuletide, but all the months of the year. With seven new photographs by Jesmoe Q. Feesh.

Autor

MG author Joseph L. Moore has been a storyteller since childhood. His inspiration comes from listening to his parents and their friends on Sunday evenings talk about their times growing up in the church as young kids, their joy reminiscing, and the adventures they had. Joseph wanted to share their rich history and has woven that into his new young adult coming of age novel, The Call of Jeremiah McGill, a historical fiction story with a Christian backdrop.Joseph believes a good book is one with honesty, that shares the truth of a situation whether good or bad, and one where the reader can find themselves in the story. In The Call of Jeremiah McGill, a young boy is discovering who he is called to be in life. Joseph hopes his young readers come away from his book learning a bit about history and asking questions about Jesus and their own spirituality, and that it starts a conversation that lasts long after the book is closed.When he isn't writing spiritual and enlightening books for young adults, Joseph is a musician and singer and enjoys listening to soft worship music as he writes. Having grown up in the church and in faith, Joseph currently serves as a minister of music of House of Prayer, World Outreach Mission. An educator for nine years, Joseph lives in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, south of St. Louis. The Call of Jeremiah McGill is his debut novel.
