Читать книгу A Family for Christmas - Dana Corbit - Страница 6

Dear Reader,

My friend Dana Corbit and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, filled with all of the blessings God made available through the birth of His Son. Dana and I have enjoyed working together on A Family for Christmas. As you read our novellas, we pray that you will again feel the awe and joy of the coming of the Christ Child.

In my novella, “The Gift of Family,” I’ve brought together two people who love each other, but whose family backgrounds differ so much that it seems impossible for them to find happiness together. Evan Kessler is the product of generations of close family love and Christian witness. Wendy Kenworth is the only child of a broken marriage. Evan offers Wendy the gift of his family, but it’s a gift that Wendy believes she will never be worthy to accept. On to Dana….

Through my story, “Child in a Manger,” I’ve tried to show how God uses everyday miracles—this time the arrival of a very special Christmas gift—to bring hope and healing to His children. Allison Hensley has forgotten how to dream, having spent a lifetime caring for others’ needs. For Brock Chandler, dreams are a luxury he can’t afford. But the arrival of a little “Joy” encourages them to see the possibilities God has for them—including the possibility that they might build a life together.

We hope you enjoy “Child in a Manger” and Irene Brand’s “The Gift of Family,” and that you create wonderful memories with your own family as we celebrate the season of our Savior’s birth.
