Holiday Give-Away 2015

Knighthawke

DOI #4-Cover smallIn this episode, we take a look at the Cyber-December that is being celebrated at Narration by George.  Not only am I making available a great short-story, a true-story-a-day-give-away, but I’m giving a book away every day in December.  Today I look at three possible books that might be of interest to you. Knighthawke and Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows combine romance, action-adventure, and science fiction to tell the compelling story of Michael Weber.  Then, we look at some historical fiction with The Declaration of Independence Series: John Hancock. Finally, in the spirit of Christmas, the story of one of the most famous of all Christmas carols: Joy to the World.

#9: The Merger of Audiobooks & Spiritual Ideas: #2 Novels

Play

Swaddling Clothes coverOnce Upon a Christmas Eve coverThis is the second week exploring the merger of audiobooks with spiritual ideas. While we may usually think of Bibles, books about the Bible, or devotionals containing spiritual ideas, there are other forms of writing which can be rich in spiritual ideas. In this episode, I take a look at two novels which explore spiritual ideas using the story of the birth of Jesus as their platform.  Amber Shamel’s The Swaddling Clothes is a historical novel inspired by a Veggie Tales episode.  Anne Baxter-Campbells Once Upon a Christmas Eve tells the story of a teenage who needs to learn a lesson or two.  You’ll hear excerpts from both of these books.

The Apostle Paul writes, “I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.” (Philippians 3:10).  As we approach the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, I offer some thoughts about how to “experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.”  Pull out your Bibles and join with me as we explore this topic.  (Thanks to the Harding University Concert Choir for our closing to this podcast, “His Name Is Life.”)

#1-How do you celebrate Christmas?

Christmas is celebrated in many way by many different people. However, the question for Christians is: How do we celebrate after the holidays are over. In this podcast, I offer some observations by Dietrich Bonhoffer and the apostle Paul! Enjoy!

From my family to yours, Merry Christ-mas!
