“”Because of God’s tender mercy,
    the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    and to guide us to the path of peace.” – Luke 1:78-79

Greetings, friends! I have a favor to ask. I’m looking for a little assist in getting the word out. Your help will do more for my writing and – hopefully – the Kingdom than I could ever begin to achieve by myself.

I’d like you to go to Amazon.com and order a copy of my Christmas/Advent book (for yourself, to give to a friend, or both). It’s a small investment for a seriously big impact. Let’s make some noise and help to ensure that Christmas 2025 is the best ever!

This book – “In My Heart I Carry A Star” – is still my #2 all-time best seller. That’s because the simple day-by-day devotional series is easy to read, full with meaning and loaded with great stories.

This is a book designed to encourage each one of us on our journey to Bethlehem to experience the birth of Jesus.

The premise goes like this: When we take the time to prepare our hearts for Christmas we don’t get so lost in the shopping and the glitz and the craziness and the Santa Claus of it all.

If we wait until Christmas Eve, hoping for a last-minute course-correction, then that’s cutting it a little too close!

So please join Rebekah and me on our family Advent journey. You can get the e-book/Kindle, but I recommend ordering the hard copy.

Let’s push In My Heart I Carry a Star back up the best-seller list and make a real difference by promoting the heart and the beauty of the real Jesus story!

I really do appreciate your support. It means everything – DEREK
