Trying to create a wonderful Christmas for those you love is exhausting and causes us to miss the blessed meaning of the season. Author and Bible Teacher, Shellie Rushing Tomlinson, has been on a mission for years to embrace the holy joy of Christmas instead of succumbing to what she calls the Christmas Crazies that are always setting traps for our holiday loving feet. She's inviting you to join her on the journey this Advent season. Inside you'll find 25 mini-messages prefaced with Scripture. Shellie is praying for everyone who picks up this little book to grow closer still to the Savior the baby was born to be.
I fell in love with storytelling as a child when my paternal grandmother regaled us with stories of what it was like to come to Louisiana from the hills of Appalachia and set up house in a tent with a dirt floor. On the other side of the family tree, my paternal grandfather, a people loving preacher, was known for using humor to draw his listeners to Jesus. It's safe to say the two of them marked me. Whether in my books, speaking before audiences, or dropping a segment on The Story Table podcast I created, I love nothing more than helping hungry hearts feast on Jesus through humor and storytelling. ~Shellie
