All Lady Prudence wants for Christmas is to keep her family out of the poorhouse. Easily done if her father would stop gambling away what little is left of their fortune. But when Pru arrives at London’s most notorious gaming hell to haul her father home, she marches right into its wickedly handsome and utterly infuriating proprietor, Lord Stockton—who has no intention of letting a lady into his establishment. With that wicked man in her way, Pru knows she’s going to need nothing short of a miracle to make her Christmas wish come true.

Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy—three willing but sometimes wayward angels—are each given someone’s prayer to answer . . .
Shirley: She’s sent to help nine-year-old Timmy Potter, who longs for a new father. And although his mother, Jody, has vowed never to trust any man, Shirley is determined to help her love again.
Goodness: She knows Monica Fischer longs for a husband and home of her own, but the young woman has practically given up on finding the right man to stand by her side . . . until Goodness steps in to help.
Mercy: Can Mercy bring hope back into Leah Lundberg’s life? This maternity nurse desperately wants a child to fill up the home she’s made with her husband, Andrew.
But there’s just one catch: Each angel must teach her charge a memorable lesson before the prayer can be granted . . .

Today is a special day. It’s Christmas and the air is filled with a magic and excitement that you can practically feel.
As Christians, we’re two cheap chicks who will be celebrating this holiday with special meaning. This is Susan and I wanted to share a little something that happened last year on Christmas Eve, when we went to church. The service was simple and moving, two teenagers portraying Joseph and Mary, gifted musicians singing old carols and new worship songs.
In the row behind me, young Emily started getting restless. It’s hard to sit through a church service when you’re just 2 years old, especially on Christmas Eve. She wiggled down out of the seat and peered around the chair to watch the stage, intrigued by the scene, especially when a doll was laid in the straw.
The pastor read the passage that described Jesus being laid in a manger, the angels who announced his birth and the shepherds who came to worship him. But Emily was not listening. Her dad put her on his lap and shushed her, which only made her squirm and fuss more. Exasperated, she told her dad very plainly about the situation.
“There’s a baby up there and I want to see it.”
Her innocent voice cut through all the extra layers surrounding Christmas and went straight to the point. Why pay attention to anything else when there is a baby?
Emily’s advice has helped me to keep my focus this holiday season. All the presents and cookies and lights are nice, but is my greatest desire to see the Savior and to be near Him? This Christmas, I pray that you can catch a glimpse of the baby and see Jesus for all he is.
Long irregular hours; occasional risk of injury; often smelly and dirty. Job satisfaction guaranteed.This is the life Maz Harwood signed up to when she became a vet and she has never regretted it. She now has a beautiful baby boy George and she will be marrying fellow vet Alex Fox-Gifford at Christmas.But recently things have become difficult. Because between arranging the wedding performing life-saving animal surgery and taking care of George there hasn’t been much time left for poor Alex.
So Maz decides to take things into her own hands – with terrible consequences for all concerned. As Christmas draws near Maz realises that she’s going to need more than a miracle for her and Alex to make it up the aisle and rekindle the love they had once shared.

A Richard Sharpe short story, featuring scenes of action and adventure at Christmas. Christmas, 1813, towards the end of the Peninsular War…
‘You’ll like Irati,’ Colonel Hogan said. ‘It’s a nothing place, Richard. Hovels and misery, that’s all it is and all it ever will be, but that’s where you’re going for Christmas.’
Because maybe the French were going there. The garrison planned to march at
Christmas in the hope that their enemies would be too bloated with beef and wine to fight, but Hogan had got wind of their plans and was now setting his snares on the only two routes that the escaping French could use.
One, the eastern road, was by far the easier route, for it entered France through a low pass, and Hogan guessed it was that route that the French would choose. But there was a second road, a tight, hard, steep road, and that had to be blocked as well and so the Prince of Wales’s Own Volunteers, Sharpe’s regiment, would climb into the hills and spend their Christmas at a place of hovels and misery called Irati.
There would be no getting bloated with beef and wine for Sharpe and his regiment this Christmas. The short story is available for the Kindle for £0.99 today.

Behind the Christmas songs we love to sing lie fascinating stories that will enrich your holiday celebration. Taking you inside the nativity of over thirty favorite songs and carols, Ace Collins introduces you to people you’ve never met, stories you’ve never heard, and meanings you’d never have imagined. The next time you and your family sing ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,’ you’ll have a new understanding of its message and popular roots. You’ll discover how ‘Angels from the Realms of Glory,’
with its sublime lyrics and profound theology, helped usher in a quiet revolution in worship.
You’ll learn the strange history of the haunting and powerful ‘O Holy Night,’ including the song’s surprising place in the history of modern communications. And you’ll step inside the life of Mark Lowry and find out how he came to pen the words to the contemporary classic ‘Mary, Did You Know?’
Still other songs such as ‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’ trace back to mysterious origins–to ninth-century monks, nameless clergy, and unknown commoners of ages past. Joining hands with such modern favorites as ‘White Christmas’ and ‘The Christmas Song,’ they are part of the legacy of inspiration, faith, tears, love, and spiritual joy that is Christmas.
From the rollicking appeal of ‘Jingle Bells’ to the tranquil beauty of ‘Silent Night,’ the great songs of Christmas contain messages of peace, hope, and truth. Each in its own way expresses a facet of God’s heart and celebrates the birth of his greatest gift to the world–Jesus, the most wonderful Christmas Song of all. You can purchase this book today for only £2.99.
