Author Joe Wheeler is now known to many holiday readers-and his ardent and loyal fans-as "Father Christmas." Dr. Wheeler is content to be "one who loves old-timey stories-not just any stories, but the ones that tug at your heartstrings and make you cry." Now all of his original Christmas stories are available in one beautifully decorated volume, complete with descriptions of how he came to write each one. Ranging from historical, contemporary, suspenseful, and even romantic, these stories encourage readers to savor and reflect upon the Christmas season and all that it means.

A chilling mist greets Doug Tillman as he boards a troopship, the S.S. Leopoldville, in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve, 1944, headed for the Battle of the Bulge. The son of Hollywood's most famous couple, he hopes his Army experience will help him forget the recent tragedies that have plagued him. Dan Gibbons, a college football star selected for a now-cancelled officers program, preps for another day with an ambulance squad near Ste. Mere Eglise. He has been in France for over six months, but his hopes of being involved in something heroic remain unfulfilled. Churning in the depths of the north Atlantic, Willy Hillenbrand is an unlikely U-boat sailor. The sixteen-year old, once driven by Aryan dreams of conquest and the deeds of an older brother, now wishes he were anywhere else. Hours later near the mouth of Cherbourg Harbor, a torpedo from his submarine pierces the hull of Tillman's troopship, setting into motion a sequence of events that inexorably brings this trio together. In the vein of A Higher Call, this novel explores one of the lesser known, but still tragic events involving men from the Greatest Generation. War can be an unfortunate necessity, but from it, we discover extraordinary feats of courage, determination, and basic humanity. NIGHT OF DESTINY: 24 DECEMBER 1944 reminds us of who we are and who we can be.

An Invitation to Deeper, More Joyful, and Rewarding Relationships with God and Others None of us is lovable all of the time. People are unreasonable, arguments flare, feelings are hurt. And no one can make us feel worse than those closest to us. It's easy to fall into the trap of closing ourselves off in order to protect ourselves, rather than opening ourselves up for relationship with each other. But think of who Jesus invited into his life and ministry. They weren't always lovable. Yet he modeled perfect love for us and showed how the mark of a spiritually mature believer was always love. In The Power of Together, pastor and author Jim Putman uncovers the core of true discipleship with an in-depth, biblical look at how Jesus always invited people into relationship with himself. He loved them with God's perfect love and, in the process, showed everyone around him that the act of following God is the act of extending and receiving love that endures all things. "Ubuntu is a popular phrase in South Africa that means 'We are, therefore I am.' Jim Putman gets this profound truth about our design by God as relational beings and provides a path for us to discover it with power in our 'all about me' culture."--Randy Frazee, senior minister of Oak Hills Church; author of The Connecting Church 2.0 "Jim Putman helpfully shows us that the 'Just Jesus and me' attitude of so many Christians is not only unbiblical but soul destroying and faith killing. Discipleship happens in relationships, period. This book not only paints a positive, compelling vision for Christian community, it charts the way forward." --J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; author of Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart "Most Christians are not experiencing all that Jesus has for them, and the result is a faith that does not satisfy them, does not create stability in a shaky world, and does not attract the lost. This book gives everyone a better goal to shoot for." --Josh McDowell, author and speaker
