Description
Be inspired this Christmas. While fictitious, Return to Christmas will open your eyes to a world of ministry opportunities.
He's a marine. He doesn't need help. He needs employment. He certainly doesn't have issues so why can't he seem to readjust to being stateside with his family? And what's up with all the people in his life? His friends have adopted a little three-year old boy with serious issues. There is something about that little boy that resonates with tough-marine Chet but he can't quite put his finger on it. Will the events leading up to this Christmas be able to melt his marine-tough heart or will he forever slip into a dark, spiraling depression?
Return to Christmas, part of New Hope Publishers missional fiction line, focuses on veterans and children who suffer from issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and attachment disorder. Award-winning author Kathi Macias blends relationships and worlds, inviting readers to this page-turner, as well as ministry opportunities to often-overlooked groups. With additional online resources available at NewHopePublishers.com, Return to Christmas is an engaging resource for book clubs, women's ministry events, and other relevant small-group discussions.
Advance Praise
"With each new novel, Kathi takes her writing up a notch—or ten—and she has done it again! Return to Christmas is a compelling story of redemption in the lives of two troubled souls, one with PTSD and the other with Attachment Disorder, and the impact of these conditions on their loved ones. I hurt with each of the hurting individuals and rejoiced with the precious glimpses of redemption. The characters struggle with real-life issues of death, pain, and loss, yet they beautifully demonstrate how to love, support, and care for their hurting loved ones. Return to Christmas made me weep, smile, and rejoice, and I’m still nibbling on the wonderful truths tucked in the pages of this story."--Susan G Mathis
"If you’ve read the book or seen the movie American Sniper, then you know the horrible effects PTSD can have on a person. Kathi Macias has beautifully interwoven the problems of PTSD with a struggling family who, through prayer and their faith in God, were able to deal with this problem and become victorious. If you have a loved one dealing with this issue, I highly recommend this book."--Lane Jordan, Lane Jordan Ministries
"Through the struggle of Chet and Jeneen, we see the heartache of PTSD, and through the pain of Steve and Breanna, we experience the challenge of their son’s Child Attachment Disorder. We fall in love with these characters and cheer them on to victory as they learn to trust God more and more."--Kathy Collard Miller, speaker and author of 50 books including Never Ever Be the Same: A New You Starts Today
"I’m not sure how she does it but once again, Kathi Macias skillfully and sensitively creates a beautiful and thought-provoking story of unconditional love, hope, and redemption. Grab a cup of hot chocolate; you’re in for a treat!"--Becky Harling, author of The 30 Day Praise Challenge
