Three Great Christmas Book Ideas
Here are three great reads out in time for Christmas this year . . . a little something for everyone!
Chubbs: A Blind Cat Learns to Trust, written by Sandra Sorenson-Kindt and illustrated by Sandra Jessop, is a great book for children and adults. The pictures are charming and tell their own story.
Sorenson-Kindt says, “This faith-based inspirational story is about a cat who learns to trust her rescuer.”
“[Chubbs is] a simple, thought-provoking story about love and trust,” says Carrie, an Amazon Reader.
In the story we find a message for all: “We won’t always be able to see, control or change Cover of Chubbs: A Blind Cat Learns to Trust what will happen in Book by Sandra Sorenson-Kindt. our lives. Sometimes we won’t know which way to go or what to do. But that’s okay. If we trust the ideas God puts in our minds and the feelings He puts in our hearts, we can make choices that will help us live more courageously—just like Chubbs.”
Chubbs: A Blind Cat Learns to Trust is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble.

Children will be thrilled with the adventures of this anxious Boston Terrier and enthusiastic pot-bellied pig as they solve mysteries in their barnyard.
Gardner’s humor shines throughout the story. Along with the two main characters, we read a hand-painted sign on the chicken coop: “Welcome to Cluckingham Palace! Resisdents: Chicka Dee, Shell E.

Finally, cosy up with The Enemy Between Us by Melinda Sue Sanchez.
A few of the strong, powerful characters in this book are also in Sanchez’s well-loved first book, Fisherman’s Daughter. This historical romance takes place in Italy during the war against Nazi occupation in 1943. There is chilling danger, sweeping passion and opportunities to show great honor throughout this epic journey—it’s a book you won’t want to miss.
