Book Details

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” Scrooge

The Christmas Church is the story of Christmas meeting-place-moments that have happened along the way of life in a small New England church. They are threshold and holy moments: times betwixt and between what was and what will be, times where God clearly shows up and is working in ways and places that people often miss. In each moment, there are signposts that point to God and illuminate the presence of God. Those moments happen, not only at Christmas, but all year long. “What a gracious offering from a great pastor who knows how to notice. What she notices time and time again is the relentless presence of a loving God in it all and through it all. This is a holy book dripping with wonder and hope.” Rev. Dr. Kirk Byron Jones, pastor, teacher, and author of Rest in the Storm: Self-Care Strategies for Clergy and Other Caregivers, and Say Yes to Grace: How to Burn Bright Without Burning Out. “In Spirit-filled, engaging and profound stories, the author (Pastor Debbie) captures the essence of a Christmas Church and gives us all a profusion of thoughtful questions and reflections to enrich our Spiritual journey. An important book to be used by Bible study groups, spiritual enrichment groups or for individual daily meditation. This book will bring joyous Christmas Blessings to your life.” ~ Susan Anderson, LICSW, MSW
