If Heaven Touches Earth: Stories Of Christmas

These fourteen original stories about the magic of Christmas are beautifully written. The author uses settings and experiences ranging from present-day life to the time of Jesus' birth to capture the real meaning of Christmas. In whatever period they live, the characters come alive. We empathize with them and even share the sometimes unreal, yet moving, moments they experience. Of special delight to me is the use of images that are fresh and perceptive. One of many examples is found in the story, Camera... "The candlelit church glowed, and its warmth reached into the night as I opened the door. Down a long hallway, distant voices sang Adeste Fideles, as the choir slowly approached. When they reached the sanctuary, the organ and all the faithful joined in... Yea, Lord we greet Thee, Born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be all glory given; Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing: O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. The music and message became a prism, focusing all the lights of the season on a stable in Bethlehem, the awe-inspiring mystery of Emmanuel - God with us." - Carolyn E. Potser
