Bøker i Divine Moments-serien

The instant Adam and Eve bit into forbidden fruit, stupid moments became a fact of life. The experiences can range from laughable to lamentable, humbling to humiliating. Whether they result from brilliant ideas...that weren't, careless actions, or unanticipated circumstances, the uncomfortable aftermath often remains fresh in our minds throughout our lives. Here, 48 authors share 62 stories illustrating that no matter what brings these moments into our lives, it's what we learn from them that matters. Sometimes we learn something important about ourselves. Other times we learn not to take things too seriously. Ultimately, these moments serve to remind us we're only human, and we always need the grace and redemptive power of Christ in our lives.

What makes Christmas special? Decorations, carols, food, gifts, and time spent with those we love can certainly create a memorable legacy. But for Christians, Christmas is about more than personal tradition. It's the day set aside to recognize the event that changed everything. It's the celebration of the birth of Christ. When the Magi recognized a star - a sign hidden in plain sight -as evidence of the birth of the Messiah, they went in search of him. In this third installment of Christmas Moments 55 authors hope their stories will encourage others to recognize the evidence of Christ often hidden in plain sight in their own lives, and seek him not only at Christmas, but throughout the entire year.
