November-December Releases

Happy New Year!

2020 is a wrap – and here is the final set of releases for the year that was. I’m sure you all have your adjectives to describe last year, but after a holiday break, we’re looking ahead to 2021 and a slate of new publications.

In the November-December releases, you’ll find several Christmas-themed books for kids and adults. But who says the Christmas story is limited to December. Our motto is Publishing the Positive–and is there anything more positive and timely than God made flesh? You’ll also find a year’s worth of devotionals on the Psalms as well as a children’s book written to help children understand and cope with the death of someone close to them.

Ed’s Christmas Miracle by Ginny Merritt; ABCs on the Move by Randall Arthur; Just a Moment: Changes Life Forever by Billie Fulton; Voices from the Past and Hunting for Destiny by Derinda Babcock; A Holy Night in Bethlehem by Kristin Lehr; Once Upon a Book: A Choose-Your-Own-Quest Novel by Faith Weaver; Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer by David Kitz; Newspaper Caper by Max Elliott Anderson; Makayla’s Heart: Moment by Moment by Dell Hyssong; and Always Remembering Papa by Amanda Godfrey.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, your family is sick, there’s no food in the house, and there’s no snow on the ground. What would you do?

Nine-year-old Ed prayed, “Father, it’s me, Ed. Edwin Stevens. I want to ask You something. My mom and dad are sick and so are my brothers and sister. Could You please help them get better?

“And Father? I’m glad Jesus was born, and I’m glad tomorrow is Christmas. But I was just wondering if You could please send some snow to make His birthday special?

“Thanks, Father. Amen.”

Did God answer Ed’s prayer? Follow his adventures on Christmas Day in a rural New York village. Discover how hard work and a community spirit combined with faith bring about a child’s miracle.
