Book excerpt: Santa Claus, ... Legend, or true character? Well, he is both. Do you remember the pop of your balloon when you found out, as a small Lad or Lass, the reality of Santa Claus? This tale spans the gap between the true history of Saint Nicholas and the legend we all know. Saint Nick was the original superhero of his day, and we continue to celebrate his timely faith and charity through the super legend of Santa Claus. The spirit of St. Nicholas is indeed real. As a young father, I came to know that the spirit of St. Nicholas' love and service, and the love of Christ, was so very real. So on the "Santa reveal", we told each of our children that the loving spirit and example of St. Nicholas is what we all, parents and children, continue to celebrate. And as parents, we do our part to honor him, in order to celebrate the birth of Christ. Santa Claus is indeed a saint, and indeed a legend and the love he displayed is very real and indeed lives to this day.

Book excerpt: In late 3rd century Asia Minor, young Nicholas begins his journey to adulthood on a series of adventures, shaping his destiny as the future and legendary Saint Nicholas of Myra. Long before he was called Santa Claus and Sinterklaas, before he became known as the Wonderworker and Gift-giver, even before he was admired as a Bishop and Saint, he was himself a young boy that lived on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, far away from the cold and snow, and that is where the story of Nicholas begins. The 'Adventures of Young Nicholas' sets the stage for an endearing portrait of a selfless and far from ordinary boy, who would become a legendary man. As a young lad, in late 3rd Century Asia Minor, Nicholas lives a simple life with his parents, in the seaport city of Patara. There, guided by the faith his parents instilled in him, he would search for his future purpose. In 'The Adventures of Young Nicholas, Part 1', Nicholas is not yet ready to let go of childhood and focus on the future. He begins a friendship with Theophanes, a boy who recently moved with his parents to Patara. Through a dangerous ordeal, during an innocent game of hide-and-seek, Nicholas and Theophanes would become best friends; a friendship that would endure many more adventures and one that was destined to become, in many ways, eternal.

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
