Taking Back Christmas
A Christian's Guide to Celebrating Jesus
$2.99
Every year it gets worse. The Christmas season becomes more about shopping early, the newest fad in lawn decorations, and how many parties we can pack into an already hectic schedule.
As Christians struggle against the tide of commercialism, this book offers a helping hand. It combines humor with a stockingful of ideas, to dim the lights on shopping and put Jesus’ life back into the spotlight.

We’ve all survived the baby years and now have kids who are a teen, ‘tween, or something in between. We still don’t hear it enough tho…
I belong to a Lutheran church just down the road from where I live. I try to stay involved, so it helps that it’s just a few minutes away. How did I stumble upon it? Well, it’s Lutheran and it’s nearby, end of research, end of story. But is this really the best way to go about it, or simply the lazi…
The Boxelder tree in the far back of our yard is dying, and has been doing so for years. I principally blame ComEd, for mercilessly chopping its back each year so that it does not encroach on the power lines. Or course it’s my fault too, I have grown increasingly accustomed to electricity.
