Christmas Greetings!
I just turned in my manuscript for Discovering Joy in Philippians, and this verse captures how I feel about you:
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. … It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart … (Phil 1:3-5, 7)
I just wanted to stop by your world to share a few things to make your holiday “Merry and Bright” so you can hold tight to HOPE:

Last year I released a new Bible study: Discovering Hope in the Psalms: A Creative Bible Study Experience. It has been endorsed by 25+ leaders including Kay Arthur, was an Amazon bestseller, and recently named Bible Study of the Year by AWSA (a group of 350+ professional Christian authors, speakers and leaders). When you purchase this, if you would like invited into the Discovering Hope in the Psalms Facebook group where readers share, and we three authors continue to pour into you, just put your Facebook profile link in the notes on order)
