From the author who knows all the secrets of a woman's heart comes a tantalizing tale of holiday romance—as a young woman discovers how a night of passion can change your life, and your dreams, forever.... Ria Lavender is the last woman in the world to be swept away by a smooth line and a seductive smile. A talented architect, she's just beginning to savor the fruits of her success when she meets a man who will change everything. Mayor-Elect Taylor MacKensie is handsome, charming, and charismatic. Still, Ria never imagines that she'll leave a Christmas party with him, or that, caught up in the magic of a snowfall and a bottle of champagne, she'll give in to desire. Eight weeks later, Ria knows she's carrying Taylor's child. To give their baby a name, Ria persuades Taylor to marry her—at least temporarily. But while Ria soon feels a surprising tenderness—and passion—for Taylor, she fears his prime concern is protecting his career. Ria vows to keep her distance from the man who holds the key to her heart...until life teaches them both a lesson in miracles—and love.

The Bible is Gods gift of love to the world. It is centuries of history acting as a faithful witness to the fact that God keeps His promises, every one. Glad Tidings of Great Joy explores five of these wonderful promises, that through these, we might celebrate Him all the more! For God so loved explores what it means to believe even as God promises that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Come and See explores the meaning of faith wherein God has promised that we are saved by grace, through faith. Faith is not blind; rather it is founded on the truth of Gods Word and anchored in the proofs (the evidence) of everything He has shown us through it! Come and see God with us is a refreshing look at Psalm 23 wherein David gives us a vivid and vibrant picture of life with God; Gods promise to ever be with us! Unto us a Child is Born is a study of Gods first and greatest promise, the promise given to Adam and Eve whereby redemption and reconciliation would be ours through the Seed of the woman. Christmas is the celebration of Jesus birth, and the basis of our faith that He will similarly keep all of His promises! Our God reigns is a glorious picture of Jesus, He who holds the keys of Death and Hades; He who stands strong, victorious, our Savior; the everlasting Lord of lords and King of kings, our amazing God! Glad Tidings of Great Joy is good news of enduring hope.

Charles Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” was very mindful of the need to avoid seeing Christmas as a merely religious holiday, open to commercialization and frivolity. Accordingly, throughout most of his extensive ministry he refused to alter his teaching schedule to fit in a “Christmas” sermon, as is so common today. Looking through Spurgeon’s vast teaching archive, we find only 19 instances in which special attention was given to the topic of Christmas. Spurgeon’s focus in these 19 sermons is overwhelmingly the who and why of Christmas. He marveled at the fact that God would send his only Son into the world for people who in no way deserved it. Christ came into the world to save sinners. That was Spurgeon’s focus 150 years ago. We need that message now more than ever. Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
