One of my fundamental ways to relax is to curl up in my favorite recliner with a good book to read The book industry is presenting a truck load of great texts for the holiday season You can find new studies on Pearl Har-bor Franklin Roosevelt Alexander Hamilton as well as works of fiction by
John Grisham Janet Evanovich Nicholas Sparks and JK Rowling The list of new works seems to be endless
I would also recommend you look for new works on an old theme the gift of baby Jesus to a world starving for meaning and purpose Check out works by Lee Strobel David Jeremiah Max Lucado Ann Voskamp Tim Keller NT Wright and Karen Kingsbury to just name a few to light up your knowledge and understanding of the Nativity story
One of our mantras as Reformed Christians is ldquoa mind in service to God is a wonderful thingrdquo As we gear up for our upcoming Advent ndash Christmas season why not pledge to spend some time reading texts which might challenge your understanding of this awesome grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
And thanks be unto God for ldquogifting usrdquo in such a wonderful gracious wayldquo A babe born in a mangerrdquo See you in church next Sunday
Fondly
