The Heart Of Christmas by Various

Wonderful Offerings

The Heart Of Christmas is a Mosaic Collection of six stories just perfect for the Christmas season. It is the third Christmas collection and all the stories are unique, delightful, contemporary and by Christian authors.

The stories are warm and welcoming, each uniquely written. They are similar but different as they spread the love of Jesus.

I absolutely loved this collection. I must confess I did have a favourite. See if you do too.

Broken Noel by Brenda Anderson is a charming and heartfelt story about a journey through grief and the true meaning of Christmas.

New Beginnings

Ties That Blind by Chautona Havig is a marvellous wrap up to the Sight Unseen series. It can be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend reading the other two books first.

This has been a fabulous contemporary Christian thriller that warns against the dangers of untested science. It has the theme of new beginnings. The reader is reminded that we can all have a new beginningin Jesus.

Prayer is important and powerful. When we feel weak, we know that we can tap into the mighty power of God by using prayer.

Facing The Past

Not A Word by Chautona Havig is a gritty contemporary Christian novel which I really enjoyed. It is a very powerful read that is rooted in God.

This novel breaks down the barriers of preconceived ideas of completely nice Christian girl meets bad boy with a reputation. We are not who others say we are. We are who God says we are. We are unique with our own personality that may be very different from who others perceive us to be.

A Choice

Christmas Embers by Chautona Havig is a contemporary Christian novel that will really tear your heart and emotions to pieces. Chautona Havig writes sensitively about the hard hitting topic of adultery. She pulls no punches – adultery affects everyone – the couple, their children, friends, neighbourhood and church. The fall out is like a nuclear bomb – it’s ripples spread out, leaving no one untouched.

For some, this novel will be painful because it is your story. For some, this novel is a warning against complacency. For all readers, this novel will play with your emotions – you will need tissues as your heart breaks for all concerned.

The novel reveals there are different types of adulterers – the one off and the serial adulterer – but the pain on the family is still severe.
