“Every Christmas, I still think about that guitar and the sacrifice it represented. And I hope I don’t forget to think about the greatest sacrifice of all, God’s gift of Himself.” Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, overindulging, competition, and stress. But according to Mike Huckabee (who was a pastor before getting into politics), that was never God’s intention. Going back to the Nativity, Christmas is supposed to be about simple things: faith, love, family, and hope. The hard part, in today’s crazy world, is remembering that those simple things are the most precious of all. Now Huckabee recounts twelve Christmas memories—often funny, sometimes deeply moving—that range from his childhood in Arkansas to his years as a young husband and father to his time as a governor and then a presidential candidate. These true stories will help you smile, take a deep breath, and maybe slow down your own holiday treadmill. If you’re looking for a little clarity, sanity, and inspiration at this insane time of year, you’re sure to enjoy A Simple Christmas.

For the past twelve years, Pastor Robert Morgan has written only one short fiction story each year - an original work he shares with his church on Christmas Eve. Six of the stories were originally published in 2010 under the title The Nativity collection; now with a new cover and six new stories, the entire collection of twelve is available. You'll meet a shy, bookish boy who finds himself center stage in a Christmas pageant, a family whose car full of presents and groceries disappears, and a mountain man trapped in a blizzard with his twelve year old grandson. You'll meet characters you feel you've known your whole life who'll make you laugh one minute and cry the next.

A collection of real life experiences from a survivor of hurricane Katrina who returned to help the victims. The details are heart-wrenching and clarifying in a way that enlightens readers on how to be angels to persons suffering from "Hurricane Heart"-a termed phrase to describe the emotional affects of a victim of a traumatic experience. The book also shares twelve inspiring ideas designed to encourage average persons to spread kindness and love through acts of service in ways that they may have never considered. Words of encouragement, phrases of inspiration, and comments filled with compassion are found therein. Truly a different type of book written for the sake of spreading the Christmas spirit as Christians in a way that relies heavily on being humble. Inside are twelve ideas, ways to interpret them, and a space to record one's own reflections! A special book for those wishing to ease the burdens on others this year especially.

Celebrate 20 years of nightmares with this picturebook version of the classic film, written and drawn by Tim Burton and now featuring word-for-word narration by Christopher Lee! In this beloved picture book that could only come from the visionary mind of author and illustrator TIM BURTON, we meet Jack Skellington-- a well-intentioned inhabitant of Halloweenland. Jack is bored of ''''the scaring, the terror, the fright....tired of being something that goes bump in the night''''. And so, in an effort to bring to joy to his town, Jack kidnaps Santa and takes his place as the jolly old elf. But instead of bringing joy to the world Jack, who is a little more than a grinning skeleton, brings fear by delivering creepy toys and riding a sleigh carried by skeletal reindeer. Only through a number of things going horribly wrong does Jack learn the true meaning of Christmas.
