30 Thoughts to Ponder Vol. 8 Christian Holidays

PURPOSE OF THIS VOLUME America celebrates many special days and holidays each year, and three of these days are given special emphasis by Christians. Churches throughout the nation observe Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I have presented many sermons, written newspaper and bulletin articles, and recorded radio spots to help others focus on the Christian nature of the holidays. This volume will focus on some of my favorite stories and messages surrounding the Christian holidays in hopes that the Experiences, Scriptures, and Prayers (ESP) will bring encouragement and joy into your life. I have divided the messages into three groups to highlight each season; as the holidays roll around, my prayer is that something within the messages will strengthen Christian faith and action and will help all grow closer to God.
