*Humor for the holidays*
This fun, inexpensive book ($7.88) contains short essays from Christian authors such as Pastor Jack Hayford, Pasty Clairmont, Martha Bolton, Tim Wildmon, Lynn Bowen Walker and many more. Several of my favorites were written by Karen Scalf Linamen.
The essays are on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
Personally, I really got a kick out of Karen Linamen's thoughts on "Black Friday". She makes a fairly convincing case that staying home is Biblical. She wraps it up by discussing the "perfect gift"...you know the ones we try to find for others and we look for in the gifts we receive. How often do we wonder if God has made a mistake when we open some of his gifts...but we have the assurance that EVERY gift from Him is good.....or will bring good.
