Download or read book A Simple Christmas written by Mike Huckabee and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Every Christmas, I still think about that guitar and the sacrifice it represented. And I hope I don’t forget to think about the greatest sacrifice of all, God’s gift of Himself.” Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, overindulging, competition, and stress. But according to Mike Huckabee (who was a pastor before getting into politics), that was never God’s intention. Going back to the Nativity, Christmas is supposed to be about simple things: faith, love, family, and hope. The hard part, in today’s crazy world, is remembering that those simple things are the most precious of all. Now Huckabee recounts twelve Christmas memories—often funny, sometimes deeply moving—that range from his childhood in Arkansas to his years as a young husband and father to his time as a governor and then a presidential candidate. These true stories will help you smile, take a deep breath, and maybe slow down your own holiday treadmill. If you’re looking for a little clarity, sanity, and inspiration at this insane time of year, you’re sure to enjoy A Simple Christmas.

Download or read book Stocking Fillers written by Debbie Young and published by Hawkesbury Press. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of twelve humorous short Christmas stories follows a cast of entertaining characters as they prepare for the festive season, from a small boy trying to teach Santa time management to the elderly lady celebrating what's likely to be her last Christmas Day. Unlike many Christmas-themed books, "Stocking Fillers" does not sugar-coat the festive experience, and not all of the characters are lovable. But ultimately it's a heartwarming celebration of all things festive. Whether you choose to spread out the stories across the traditional 12 Days of Christmas, or to consume them all in one sitting, once you've read "Stocking Fillers," you'll never view Christmas in quite the same way again! By the author of the acclaimed flash fiction collection "Quick Change," of which National Flash Fiction Day founder Calum Kerr said: "A book of tiny gems. Debbie Young's attention to detail brings the extraordinary out of the everyday." Author Marius Gabriel describes her short fiction as "Very subtle, very English, very clever," and historical novelist Lucienne Boyce adds: "Debbie Young's short stories make domesticity look edgy, sometimes dangerous, but they are also life-affirming." Also available as an ebook.
