Home prices are too high. Buying a home is the pinnacle of adulthood, but as we all aware, home ownership isn’t exactly easy to navigate, especially for younger folks. Unless you’re completely debt-free, get help from parents, and disciplined enough to live below your means to save money, buying your first home in the future can seem more like a fantasy than an actual possibility.

Life is a game, unless you're not the one winning.

Lucie Martin is new – she is familiar with that. Normally, she has no problems making friends, but the children of the neighboring house pose a real challenge. They are unusual enough: an aggressive daughter, a bunch of foster kids, the oldest of them a withdrawn boy with snow-white hair. Lucie is intrigued, against her will, by Noel Tyll. There's something else about him, something that makes his foster sister pull out all the stops, something beyond his hair and strangely beguiling voice. But when Lucie finally finds out what Noel's secret is, she learns more than she wanted to know –...

This little book is meant to be used as a daily devotional guide throughout the Christmas season. It is broken into five sections of five devotions. Each section focuses on one passage of Scripture that is considered verse-by-verse. The book is designed for use as a personal or family devotion tool. Each individual study has some questions to help apply the passage and each section has a text to commit to memory. As a bonus, there are several original Christmas poems in this work from my dear friend, Dr. Tom Nettles that I am sure will be an encouragement to you.
