Book Description
Proceeds from this book support the ministry of Goodhope Nazarene It seems that in our immediate gratification culture we begin celebrating Christmas before the Thanksgiving turkey gets cold. This wouldn't be so bad if there were any hint of Christ in our celebrations. The purpose of the Advent season is to delay the celebration of Christmas as much as possible. Focus on the anticipation. Focus on the expectation. Focus on the need we have for the kind of saving that Christ does. This devotional book, with the use of Advent candle readings and the "Jesse Tree," will help you and your family join the Ancient Israelites in waiting for the promised Messiah. This book is designed to be used year after year so that it can become a cherished family tradition. WHAT IS A JESSE TREE? The tradition of the Jesse Tree began in medieval times. It is a visual way to tell the story of the Bible from Genesis to Jesus. Early depictions of the Jesse Tree were made of carvings or stained glass. Over time the Jesse Tree transformed into an Advent tradition that helps us remember how God has been working in human history. During each day of Advent, a Bible story is shared and a corresponding ornament is hung on the Jesse Tree. By the Time Christmas comes your family will have traveled through many of the key events in scripture and will have arrived at the very first Christmas. When Christmas finally comes your family will have a beautiful visual display of your journey together. Kindle Version does not have interior images. Jesse Tree Ornaments available at www.GoodhopeNaz.com/jessetree.html

Book Description
Little children throughout the world wait impatiently for Christmas to arrive. As parents know, it can seem as if the days just crawl by. Now your family can learn and put to use Advent traditions from the country of Germany during the Christmas season. No doubt mothers have long been inventing ways to keep young children occupied during the Advent season—like Gerhard Lang’s mother, who in the mid-1800s helped her young son count the days on a calendar of cookies. In 1908, the grownup Gerhard, a printer, created the first commercial Advent calendar, twenty-four tiny pictures in the form of a calendar, from his fond memories. Waiting for Christmas tells the story of the young Gerhard—a story children everywhere will recognize as their own—and teaches us that we must wait patiently as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Book Description
The title Gems is unique within itself. The poetry displays deep thoughts that causes one to think of the known as well as the unknown. I chose Gems for my title because I feel that every one of my poems is as a collection of fine stones. As one reads a poem, I want the experience to be as one who gazed upon a fine gem. As with Gems, the quality of some poems will be better than others. It is my sincere desire that my readers will experience the same pleasure and satisfaction as a gem collector would receive when he gazes upon a rare stone. I pray to God that you will read this book of Gems.

Book Description
After the death of her son, Hallie Remington hides from the world in her apartment in New York City. With the help of a Russian immigrant named Nicholas, she begins to take her life back, finding refuge in her art. With the possibility of a sculpture commission from a big company, Hallie immerses herself in her work. Her friendship with Nicholas continues to grow, and she encourages him on his quest to start his own restaurant someday-one that will be better than the Russian Tea Room in New York City. After Hallie witnesses Nicholas participating in an old Russian ritual at his father's funeral, she senses a change in him-something that he himself cannot begin to describe. Hallie's own life is also changing. She can no longer stay in her marriage, and she asks her husband for a divorce. But when she and Nicholas begin a torrid affair, Hallie cannot begin to imagine where her life will lead. In Nicholas's arms, she feels treasured and safe. But can the power of love overcome their differences?
