The One who was born under the star still wants to be found. He wants to be found by every part of us, including the parts that forgot to look. He wants to be found not only by the religious part of us, but also by the scared part, the tempted part, the angry part, the apathetic part, the hopeful part. Let’s take the journey to Bethlehem. Let’s find the One who came to put us back together. Celebrate this beautiful season with me with freshly rendered scriptures, thoughtful meditations, and beautiful images. (See review below…)

I just got a copy of your Christmas book, A Beautiful Christmas. It is probably one of the sweetest contemporary books for Christmas that I have ever read. It is definitely who you are. You are a fine wordsmith capable of “leaping tall buildings with a single bound.” I can’t tell you how touched I was by your personal telling of this marvelous story that everyone knows, but with the approach of one who’s living the story from the inside out. My goodness, I’ve only read half the book and I’m in awe of your talent. … your writing is also whimsical full of emotion and transparency. Thank you for making me feel good this afternoon. … I was not underwhelmed… Mike Kellogg, from Facebook
