Description: Widely-acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states that what we've really lost is "the rest of God-the rest God bestows and, with it, that part of Himself we can know only through stillness." Stillness as a virtue is a foreign concept in our society, but there is wisdom in God's own rhythm of work and rest. Jesus practiced Sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and He reminded them of the day's true purpose: liberation-to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish and relish life abundant. With this book, Buchanan reminds us of this and gives practical advice for restoring the sabbath in our lives.

Description: Whether you seek instant seasonal atmosphere or have a bit more time to set the holiday mood, you'll find a galaxy of great ideas in the vibrant pages of Carol Field Dahlstrom's Simply Christmas: 201 Easy Crafts, Food and Decorating Ideas. Seven chock-full chapters explain how to decorate, greet, nourish, give, entertain, light, and remember, in "quick as a wink" to slightly more involved projects. If you're in a hurry, drape beaded garlands over the banister, dip candy canes in chocolate and sprinkle with colored sugars, or jazz up a candle display by surrounding it with fun accents like jingle bells or faux jewels. If you can spare a few hours, try painting lively designs on a sled or a pair of skates or even your mailbox; cooking up some Christmas Eve soup or sweet treats; or crafting ornament place-card holders that dinner guests can take home. Besides complete directions and plenty of color photos, there are further suggestions for creating your own holiday traditions, such as recounting favorite Christmases past while the family trims the tree, or surprising overnight visitors with a special basket of goodies. Best of all, the book offers so many ideas, you'll be able to dive into it for new ones for years to come. --Amy Handy

Description: Sure, you can sing all the verses to "Jingle Bells" and recite `Twas the Night Before Christmas by heart, but how much do you really know about everybody's favorite holiday? Where did Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Get His Start?
At Montgomery Ward's! Copywriter Robert May wrote the story as a giveaway to attract families with children to do their holiday shopping at the store. Which famous carol is actually a secret Christian code?
It's "The Twelve Days of Christmas!" The partridge "in the pear tree" is code for Jesus! The two turtledoves stand for the Old and New Testament! And the ten lords a-leaping-you got it!--are the Ten Commandments. Why Do We Buy Poinsettias?
One Christmas Eve long ago, in Mexico, a poor boy cried because he had no gift for the baby Jesus. He knelt outside the church window and prayed and--lo and behold!--in the spot where he knelt blossomed a beautiful red poinsettia. To this day, Mexicans still call this lovely plant "Flower of the Holy Night." Open this holly jolly gift of a book, and you'll find it overstuffed with Christmas treats like carols, crafts, recipes, legends, songs, and of course more tinsel trivia! With this ultimate Christmas collection, you'll fall in love with Christmas all over again! Meera Lester is an artist and author of a dozen books, including several about early Christianity and the saints. She prepares for Christmas, her favorite holiday, throughout the year and has fond memories of an old-fashioned celebration from her childhood. Lester is the author of Saint's Blessings: Wisdom and Guidance Inspired by the World's Most Beloved Saints, The Everything® Gnostic Gospels Book, and The Everything® Women of the Bible Book.

Description: With The Brick Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis, Brendan Smith reimagined ten classic Bible stories using nothing but LEGO bricks -- and the results were praised by everyone from People and Entertainment Weekly to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (they've recommended the book to their entire congregation!). Publishers Weekly called it "hilarious" and wrote, "One rejoices that the franchise possibilities could extend for many years."
We couldn't agree more. Just in time for the holidays, Quirk Books is proud to present the best-known Bible story of all time: The Story of Christmas. Using verses from the New Testament and a series of elaborate LEGO dioramas, Smith illustrates the birth of Jesus Christ -- from his arrival in the manger to the wrath of King Herod and the famous visit from the three wise men. It's the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who celebrates Christmas!

Description: Where did the best-loved traditions that make Christmas America's favourite holiday originate? With vintage illustrations by artists such as Thomas Nast, Everett Shinn, Al Hirschfeld, Arthur Rackham and others, "Inventing Christmas" explains how most of America's traditions evolved over the 25-year period from 1822 (when Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from St Nicholas" was published) to 1848. Jock Elliott, who has been collecting Christmas ephemera for over 50 years, shows how Santa, the Christmas tree, gift-giving and Scrooge all came to signify Christmas.
