Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy!<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/em> \u2014Luke 2:10<\/p>\n

Greetings all! \u00a0I pray this post finds you well as you prepare your hearts and homes to celebrate the birth of our Savior. It\u2019s hard to\"\"<\/a> believe we will soon close the chapter on 2014. A trip to Israel walking in the footsteps of Jesus made this year especially memorable for us. Indeed, He is Emmanuel, God With<\/em> Us! As the year draws to a close, I wanted to express my heartfelt thank you for following my blog and reading my books. Here are a couple of noteworthy things that might interest you.<\/p>\n

New Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I\u2019m excited to be working on two new projects with Barbour Publishing. Jehovah-Rapha: The God Who Heals<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is the first in a series of prayer and devotional books based on the names of God. If you are struggling with physical illness, chronic pain, or disability, this book will guide you through a journey of prayer and devotion as you seek God for healing and wholeness. There will be 60 meditations based on healing Scriptures, a prayer for healing following each meditation to help guide you as you pray the Scripture into your personal situations, and compelling true stories of God’s healing power at work today.<\/p>\n

The second project is Power Prayers for the Cure<\/strong><\/em>, a prayer book for people battling cancer that will be a part of Barbour\u2019s \"\"<\/a>popular Power Prayers series. I am humbled and grateful to God, to my agent Ann Byle of Credo Communications, and to you, my readers, for making these projects possible!<\/p>\n

FREE E-Book Edition of Hope for Tough Times<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a gift to all in this season of hope, my book Hope for Tough Times<\/strong><\/em> will be available for FREE download for two days only, December 13th and 14th<\/strong> on Amazon. Please keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter, and when you see my announcement, please hit Like and Share. I appreciate any help you can provide to get the word out and share this gift with others!<\/p>\n

Here is the link: Hope for Tough Times Kindle Edition<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now. \u00a0As you put out the decorations and wrap your gifts, may you never forget the first Christmas wrapping was swaddling clothes. Wishing you and yours the best Christmas ever! Enjoy the GIFT!<\/p>\n
