The Christmas Victory, (Gift edition): A Gem Of A Sermon, All Wrapped Up in a Historical Novel 3rd Edition by James M. Becher

About The Christmas Victory, (Gift edition): A Gem Of A Sermon, All Wrapped Up in a Historical Novel 3rd Edition:

This is the full-color gift edition, with red ribbons at every chapter heading and 16 beautiful relevant full-color pictures scattered throughout. It makes a great Christmas gift to give.
This American historical fiction novel could also be classed as alternative history. The lives of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Mark Twain both contained terrible tragedies from which they eventually found real hope and spiritual meaning—at least in this novel. This novel is about one little sermon called “The Christmas Victory,” and one, even littler poem, called “Christmas Bells,” and how, fictionally, they both may have influenced and given hope to, not only the author of the poem, Henry W. Longfellow, but also his son, Charles, and Mark Twain, whom Charles meets. Though suffering tragic losses, these all eventually find hope and spiritual fulfillment, at least in this novel.

The Reluctant Healer by Andrew Himmel

“About The Reluctant Healer:

Between Doubt and Belief
The Reluctant Healer tells the story of a young attorney who is torn between mounting evidence that he has the spiritual ability to heal others and his life-long skepticism of alternative views. Will Alexander is cautious and conventional. But when he meets Erica, a beautiful, intense energy healer, he becomes troubled not only by her unorthodox endeavors but also by the limitations of his own existence. Amidst this turmoil, Will is startled to discover that he may possess metaphysical gifts of healing that confront the narrow doctrines of his regulated life.

The Reluctant Healer paints a portrait of a reasonable man who traces a path between skepticism and belief. Flawed, funny, and agnostic, Will distrusts much of the alternative world, even as he struggles internally with phenomena that challenge both his sense of self and his orderly perspective. Will’s love for Erica, the exposure to her world, and his newfound powers place his life in a state of uncertainty, teetering between disruption and liberation.

About Ancestry: Awakenings (Book 1) by Cullen Kit Alexander

Magic, passed down from generation to generation through three different families from an extinct tribe, is now at the doorsteps of an unsuspecting family. Danger lurks everywhere as an evil tribal chief, Nuabani, banished to the dark abyss, seeks revenge against those who stripped him of his magic centuries ago. Since the time of banishment, Nuabani has aligned himself with others who will stop at nothing to return all the magic back to him, even if it includes harming or killing innocents. One person stands in his way – one of the descendants of the tribe who wields the magic known as a Magica. Unfortunately, time is running out for the Magica who must pass her magic to a descendant whose own abilities must be awakened. Unknowingly caught in the middle is Dr. Logan Tompkins, a renowned child/adolescent psychiatrist, who is trying to raise three children after recently losing his wife.

Soon after his wife dies, Logan’s daughter Emma begins experiencing nightmares that eventually manifest into psychotic-like behaviors. Hoping to find answers to help his daughter, he moves his family to Virginia. There he discovers that it is not just his daughter with unexplainable psychotic behaviors, but there are several other children admitted to the psychiatric hospital where he works that experienced the same sudden onset of symptoms. Like Emma, none of them have a history of psychosis or predisposing conditions that would explain their behaviors. As Dr. Tompkins digs into his own family’s past to save Emma, he will come face to face with his connection to Nuabani and the Magica. Will Dr. Tompkins find the answers he seeks and strength to save his daughter, the other children, and embrace his ancestry? Can the Magica save the world and find the next descendant before it’s too late?

Cold Island by Max Hertzberg

“About Cold Island:

the Ethical Dairy and are trying a new approach to cow’s milk. They have “110-ish” cows that are hybrids of three breeds designed to create a more robust, productive and long-living animal. “Our cows look like liquorice allsorts – they are all kinds of colours and shapes and sizes,” explains David Finlay. “There’s a lot of bonuses that come from crossing, but they don’t look so pretty.”

For much of the past 25 years, the Finlays have been turning the milk from their cows into ice-cream, but they recently began to concentrate on making artisan, raw-milk cheese. But that’s not what is really radical about what they are doing. A couple of years ago, the Finlays started to wonder if they could make their farm work both as a business and an ethical enterprise that puts animal welfare at the heart of the operation. At the centre of the experiment was the idea to allow calves to stay with their mothers for five to six months after they are born. The cows are still milked during this period, but only once a day.

Some background might be helpful. In most commercial dairies, calves are taken away from their mothers soon after birth; organic farms are required to keep them together for a minimum of 24 hours. On the most intensive dairies, cows will be milked three times a day. In these industrial facilities many cows don’t survive to the age of five.

The Christmas Victory: A Gem of a Sermon, All Wrapped Up in a Historical Novel by James M. Becher

About The Christmas Victory: A Gem of a Sermon, All Wrapped Up in a Historical Novel:

Aside from both being authors, what do the lives of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Mark Twain have in common? The answer is that both of their lives contained terrible tragedies from which they eventually found real hope and spiritual meaning—at least in this novel. This book is about one little sermon called “The Christmas Victory,” and one, even littler poem, called “Christmas Bells,” and how, fictionally, they both may have influenced and given hope to, not only the author of the poem, Henry W. Longfellow, but also his son, Charles, and Mark Twain, whom Charles meets. Though suffering tragic losses, these all eventually find hope and spiritual fulfillment, at least in this novel.
