Discover Christmas at Grace Hollow – A Faith-Filled Holiday Romance You’ll Treasure This Season
What a season this has been—and it’s about to get even brighter!
I’m beyond excited to introduce you to my newest novel, Christmas at Grace Hollow, a heartfelt Christian Christmas romance that means so much to me personally. While The Sword of the Spirit launched an epic biblical fantasy journey, this story slows down the pace and leans into something beautifully simple—redemption, healing, and homecoming at Christmas.
You’ll meet Tess Somerset, a woman returning home to Maple Ridge after years away, and Brayden James, the small-town pastor who’s learned that grace often comes wrapped in second chances. Their story is one of faith rediscovered, forgiveness offered, and love that finds its way home—just in time for Christmas.
This book holds a special place in my heart. It’s not just another story—it’s a reflection of the hope that’s carried me through my own seasons of waiting and wonder. Writing it reminded me that God’s timing is perfect, and His grace can turn even the coldest winter night into something warm and full of light.
To every reader who’s followed me since The Sword of the Spirit—thank you for walking this creative road with me. Your support, encouragement, and prayers mean more than words can say. I can’t wait for you to step into Grace Hollow and experience this story for yourself.
If you’ve already preordered or picked up a copy, thank you from the bottom of my heart. When you finish, I’d love it if you shared your thoughts in a review on Goodreads, Amazon, or social media. Your feedback helps this story find its way into more hands—and hearts.
The journey from ancient adventure to small-town Christmas grace has been a joy to write. And something tells me… this is just the beginning.
Merry Christmas—and welcome to Grace Hollow. 🎄

The Journey Begins: Launching The Sword of the Spirit
Wow. What a ride it’s already been—and we’re just getting started!
This past weekend marked the official launch of my debut novel The Sword of the Spirit, and I’m still catching my breath from how incredible the book signing and release party turned out. The support, the conversations, the shared excitement—it was everything I could have hoped for and more. I got to meet readers face-to-face, see people wearing Sword of the Spirit merch (still can’t believe that!), and watch as a story that once lived only in my imagination took its first real steps into the world.
This book is deeply personal to me. It’s not just a fantasy adventure—it’s a story born of faith, imagination, and years of dreaming. To see it now in the hands of readers—you—is both humbling and exhilarating.
And this is only the beginning. I'm already looking forward to many more signings, appearances, and moments where I get to connect with you, the fans who are making this journey so unforgettable. If we haven’t met yet, I hope we will soon.
If you’ve already picked up a copy of The Sword of the Spirit, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you’ve had a chance to read it, I’d love it if you left an honest review here on Goodreads. Your thoughts truly matter—and they help others discover this story as well.
To everyone who’s joined me on this path—thank you. Let’s keep walking it together. The adventure is just beginning, and I can’t wait to share what’s ahead.
With gratitude and excitement,
Chad Muessig

Stepping into the Story: Introducing The Sword of the Spirit
Hi friends,
I still can’t believe I get to write this—but here we are. My debut novel, The Sword of the Spirit, is officially releasing July 27th!
This story has been living in my head for the past year. What started as a single idea—something between a biblical epic and a heroic fantasy—quickly grew into a world full of danger, legacy, and ancient truth.
At its core, The Sword of the Spirit is a story about courage, calling, and faith in the face of rising darkness. It follows Shem, the son of Noah, as he’s thrust into a conflict that stretches far beyond his own time—one that traces back to the children of Adam and Eve and the secrets they've carried forward. Along the way, he faces political unrest, a world on the brink of judgment… and yes, actual dinosaurs.
There are secret orders, steampunk-inspired relics, and a powerful ancient weapon at the center of it all. But more than anything, this book is about the spiritual battles we all face—about choosing truth when it costs something, and becoming who you were meant to be.
If you're a fan of fantasy with spiritual depth, character-driven stories, and ancient settings with a fresh twist, I hope this book will resonate with you as deeply as it has with me.
Thank you for being here. Whether you’re adding The Sword of the Spirit to your TBR or just curious about the story, I’m so grateful. This is just the beginning—and I can’t wait to share more of the journey with you.
Remember... "He equips the chosen"
With excitement and gratitude,
