Book excerpt: The Forgotten ChristmasA short, yet poignant Christmas story that can be enjoyed by all ages 8 and up to adults. It is based on the true-life experience of the author, Tommy, when he was seventeen in the 1960's. Instead of going to a planned party with his friends, he ends up at his sister's home late on Christmas Eve. She is depressed after going through a divorce and is not going to even have a Christmas tree for her two small daughters on Christmas morning. Tommy cannot stand the thought of these two little nieces being disappointed, so he stays up all night creating a magical Christmas morning scene. He is so involved that he totally forgets about the party until the wee hours of the morning when he takes in the magical scene of his all-night efforts. It becomes the Christmas he will never forget . . . even though the others might. It will encourage the reader's desire to be more giving as well rather than focusing only on their own wants. This story indeed portrays the real meaning of Christmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, we say we’re going to cut back, simplify, and have a family Christmas that focuses on the real reason for the season—Jesus. But every year, advertisements beckon, the children plead, and it seems easier just to indulge our wants and whims. Overspending, overeating, materialism, and busyness rob us of our peace and joy and rob Jesus of his rightful role as the center of our celebration. This Christmas, cut through the hype that leaves you exhausted and broke at the end of the year. Instead, experience the peace of knowing that God is truly with us, the joy of giving sacrificially, and the love of a Savior who gave everything he had for us. In five short, engaging chapters, Pastor Mike Slaughter inspires readers to approach Christmas differently, and be transformed in the process.
