O Come All Ye Faithful

Edwin wanted to be home, but instead he crouched in a trench. The English on one side of No Man’s Land and Germans on the other. What a way to spend Christmas. Could anything make it better?

Peace on Earth

Emmie and Elana are estranged sisters, torn apart by an old boyfriend five years earlier. Will they survive a night in the same hotel room after a blizzard forces them together or will peace on earth go out the window?

Silent Night

Christmas decorating had never gone this wrong. Jenna had just started when a crazy, gun-waving woman, walks right in the front door and ties her up in her own Christmas lights. Will Jenna even see her family this Christmas?

The Gift Goes On

Four friends and a year to reflect on. The year had been good for Carlotta, but Priscilla, Remus, and Newton all had at least one trial through the year. A mysterious giver the previous year had helped them all out, though. What would this year’s gifts bring?

O Christmas Tree

Gareth loves Christmas. But more than that, he loves Christmas tree hunting. As the family prepares for their annual trip, Gareth can barely contain his excitement. But what are all the spray bottles for?

Review

O Come All Ye Faithful: 

This short story warmed my heart so much. I have always loved the story of English and German soldiers singing Christmas carols together on Christmas Eve. Even during the midst of World War 1, these men came to a truce through carols for one night. This was definitely a 5 star story!

Peace on Earth:

This short story was so amazing. It was so cool to see how God can change people so quickly and how amazing our God really is!! This short story is 4 and a half stars!

Silent Night:

This was such a sweet short story. I don’t know how Jenna stayed so calm during the but it was such a sweet story about helping others through their disorders and showing them the love of God!! 5 stars! 

The Gift Goes On: 

This was so cute!! I did NOT expect the ending though! I got giddy and started freaking out! Another 5 star story!! 😀 

O Christmas Tree: 

This was my least favorite story in this book, but it was so good never the less. It had a really good message, like all the other stories. 4 stars for this story. 

Overall, this was such an enjoyable and quick read!! I will definitely be reading more of Faith’s books in the future!! 

About the Author

Faith Blum is a small-town Wisconsin girl. She’s lived in, or outside of, small towns her whole life. The thought of living in a city with more than 60,000 people in it scares her, especially after some interesting adventures driving through big cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

Faith currently resides in the middle of the state of Wisconsin with her husband and their cat, Smokey. She is blessed to be able to have writing as her full-time career with household work and cooking to do on the side. She loves to paint walls as long as she doesn’t have to do hallways or ceilings.

When not writing, you can find her cooking food from scratch due to food allergies (fun), doing dishes (meh), knitting, crocheting, sewing, reading, or spending time with her husband (yay!). She is also a Community Assistant for the Young Writers Workshop and loves her work there. She loves to hear from her readers, so feel free to contact her on her website.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will hate and fear drown the song of Christmas love?

Amelia is eagerly anticipating her first Christmas in the west, but she soon finds that her brother-in-law’s worry and her sister’s exhaustion reach far deeper than the cares of a ranch and a family. A rash of fires and cattle thefts is plaguing the area, and the three young orphans they’ve sheltered are under suspicion from their prejudiced neighbors.

As hostilities mount, Amelia seizes every opportunity to help and encourage, but how much can one girl do? Will Reverend Brown win the community over to the true spirit of love? And will help arrive before everything they hold dear is destroyed?

Review

Gah! This book was so good!! It had not only an amazing message, but it also had humor, suspense, and just a heart warming story that anyone would love. Amelia was honestly the best character in this book, her witty humor in some parts made this book even better.

The message in this book is the same today that it was back in the early 1900s. We still are facing racism here in America today, we, as the church, need to stand up and fight back against the racism in our country. It is the only way things will change like they did in this book!

I also need more Amelia and Reverend Brown……smiles and looks at Rebekah with puppy eyes But seriously can we please get a short sequel because that would be amazing!

I hope to read more of Rebekah Morris’ books because after reading this one, I’m definitely thirsty for more!!
