DETAILS Glowing bright with a timeless message, The Christmas Candle will warm your heart. It's 1864 in Gladstone, England, a tiny village in the Cotswolds. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens here. Except at Christmas time. This year, Edward Haddington, a lowly candle maker is visited by a mysterious angel. That angel silently imparts a precious gift. The candle maker and his wife, Bea, have to make a difficult choice-who among them most needs a Christmas miracle? As hope blossoms in wintertime, soon the

entire town glows brightly with Christmas joy.

DETAILS With a popular 20th Century historical setting, Tricia Goyer presents her first Amish Christmas novella based on a true story. Inspired by a true story, A Christmas Gift for Rose is a heartwarming novella of sacrifice and deep love. Born in the midst of the hardships of the Great Depression, Rose grew up in Berlin, Ohio, in the arms of a loving Amish family. But as she prepares to marry, she's thrown into confusion when she learns the truth of her birth. She was born English and abandoned when the family moved on in search of work. Was she meant to be Amish or would

she have been better off growing up with her own kind-Englishers? And was her intended's gift of discovering her birth family given out of love or fear?

DETAILS The miraculous story of the Maccabees told through the eyes of a woman who learns that love requires both courage and sacrifice. Seeking safety after a hard childhood, Leah marries a strong and gentle man of the nation of Judah.

DETAILS It's the most wonderful season of all, and for the women of Christmas Lights, it's a time of magic, good cheer, and, most of all, family. In this collection, we meet Katherine, Julianna, Adrianna, Cassandra, Victoria, Alexandra, and Isabella, seven women each wishing for their very own Christmas miracle. From Katherine, who is caring for an ailing loved one, to Cassandra, the busy mother of toddlers, and Adrianna, struggling with the difficulties of marriage, to Victoria, who is searching for a love to call her own, these stories perfectly capture the heart and soul of the holiday spirit. As Christmas Eve approaches, each woman strives to remember the

reason for the season before coming together in a moving finale that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. Full of festive cheer, Christmas Lights is the perfect stocking stuffer for fans of Debbie Macomber and Fannie Flaggor anyone longing to rediscover the magic of Christmas.

DETAILS High in the mountains lies the town of Noel, surrounded by beautiful white walls and a great silver gate. Every year Alexander and his mother walk the long distance to Noel to watch the lighting of the village Christmas tree. This year Alexander learns that the Keeper of the Flame will choose the person who has given the truest gift of Christmas to light the Flame. On his way to Noel, Alexander helps a poor old man he finds lying in the snow. His act of charity is rewarded, and Alexander learns that it isn’t what you have to give, but how you give of yourself that matters most. Master storyteller Richard Paul Evans shares a

heartwarming tale of the true meaning of Christmas spirit.
