Holiday Christian Fiction

Enjoy the holiday season with these stories set around Christmas and New Years!

With charm and humor, Gentle Reads are novels that explore the everyday joys, frustrations, and sorrows of lives quietly led. They typically revolve around the activities of a small community of people, such as a small town, a church, or a gathering of friends. The realities of sex, violence, and other passions are downplayed and are never presented in a graphic manner.
