This week I’m giving away THREE copies of Liz Curtis Higgs‘ book, The Women of Christmas. Liz is the author of more than 30 books, with 4.5 million copies in print, including her nonfiction bestsellers, Bad Girls of the Bible: And What We Can Learn from Them and The Girl’s Still Got It: Take a Walk with Ruth and the God Who Rocked Her World. Liz has presented more than 1,700 inspirational programs in all 50 United States and 14 foreign countries, and is honored to be a speaker with Women of Faith. Nearly 10,000 readers follow her weekly Bible study blog.
I recently had the chance to ask Liz a few questions about her book:
Margaret: With all the Christian books on the market today, what motivated you to write The Women of Christmas?
Liz: I’ve been writing and speaking about the women in Scripture for ages—those Bad Girls of the Bible in particular. This time I wanted to explore the lives of three truly good girls from the New Testament—Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna.
The Christmas story is so familiar, we tend to nod our heads and barely pay attention when it’s read aloud at Christmastime. My goal was to help the reader slow down, going phrase by phrase, so that each amazing truth has time to sink in. Angelic appearances, miraculous births, Holy Spirit utterances—oh my!
By broadening the story to include the birth of Elizabeth’s son, John the Baptist, and the Christ child’s appearance in the temple courts, where Anna saw him, we get a fuller grasp of God’s unfolding plan, not only for these faithful women, but also for us.
What has been the greatest encouragement in your writing experience?
Writing is a form of worship for me, a continual conversation with the Lord—sometimes silent, though more often times spoken. I pray, I read passages aloud, I seek his direction. My writing study is really a sanctuary. Even the fragrance—a mix of old books and apple-scented candles—brings a smile to my face when I walk in the room. Home.
Once a book is released, my readers are a huge source of encouragement. When they kindly reach out via Facebook, Twitter, or email, describing how one of my books has impacted them, it motivates me to keep studying, keep writing, keep blogging, keep speaking. One woman wrote, “The Women of Christmas is changing my life. What’s helped most? The line that says, ‘The opposite of disgrace is grace.’” A comment like that can fuel my writing passion for days.
What were the biggest challenges or struggles during the writing process?
Staying glued to the chair is always the hardest part for me. So many distractions, in real life and online! I’m a perfectionist, so I spend waaaay too much time triple-checking every detail, when double-checking would be enough. And I can get so caught up in research that I forget what readers want most is life application. I’m grateful for truly gifted editors who keep me on track.
What do you hope will happen in the reader’s heart and mind after they finish the book?
My prayer is that readers will see the bigger picture God is painting through the lives of these three remarkable women. They represent different ages and stages—Elizabeth is menopausal and married, Mary is young and unwed, and Anna is a widow of eighty-four—giving us all someone we can identify with. Each one plays an important role in the coming of the Messiah. Each one serves as a role model of faith in action.
The title of the first chapter expresses my dearest hope for The Women of Christmas: “Let every heart prepare him room.”
If you haven’t watched this yet, you must. Ann Voskamp and Liz Curtis Higgs invite you to the farm to discuss traditions, recipes, and a whole lotta Jesus:

Which is your favorite rendition of Jesus’ birth–Matthew, Luke, or John?
(Remember: Mark launches straight into Christ’s ministry and doesn’t tell the story of his birth).
This will definitely be a Christmas to remember and savor. I recently bought The Greatest Gift by Ann Voskamp and have my ornaments for my Jesse tree ready. Christmas before were time of buy this and do that and run myself past my designed limits. Not this year!!, I will be taking the time to pause and breathe and truly feel this Christmas. I need this so much !!! I would dearly to win a copy of Liz’s book but whoever wins will be truly blessed!! Thank you so much Margaret for doing this !!
Spending more time pondering Christmas and all it means is a goal of mine. This would help me to do just that. Thank you.
Wanting to teach my grands real meaning this Christmas. Would love to win a copy.
I love Liz’s books.
my favorite telling of Christ’s birth is Luke
Really want to focus on the true meaning of Christmas… and not just during this season, but all year long. It makes me smile when I see a favourite author promoting another favourite author… love that there is community and not competition.
Have been following Annie & Lizzie this past month… would really like to win the book too!!! 🙂
My favorite rendition of the Christmas story is found in Luke.
I tend to gravitate towards Luke when it comes to the Christmas story.
I am reading daily from 3 sources…but not overwhelming myself. Just trying to sit and listen to all He has to tell me during this season of Advent. It is amazing that the same story has new meaning each year..gives me new direction. I love all the different sources from the writers I have encountered. Ultimately, you lead me back to His word. Happy reading, happy learning, happy waiting. Jan
Would love to win a copy. I read an excerpt in home living magazine which makes you want to read more. I love the version in Luke 2 of the Christmas story. Every year on Christmas Eve my dad would read from Luke 2 as we sat around our Christmas tree. It’s a favorite childhood memory.
On Christmas Eve, our family reads aloud the story of Jesus’ birth from the book of Luke. I would love to read the book by Liz Curtis Higgs and share it with my daughters!
I have to agree with so many others. Luke is the one I know and automatically turn too because of family readings throughout the years.
This book sounds fantastic!
I love Liz. She was our keynote speaker at a women’s conference at my church one year and she was …fabulous. I love the Luke reading of this story. Would love to win a copy of this one.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
I like Luke. I’m thinking of trying to memorize it for Christmas this year. Love that the first people to be told were outcasts. A good reminder that’s where God’s heart is.
I would love to have this book … love Liz’s books!
I loved sitting with these beautiful ladies that last hour or so and boy was I blessed! I am excited about getting these books not for just me but my daughter and daughter-in-law’s! I have decided to have a ‘Wrapping Party’ and share the story of Rahab with them: Rahab…by faith she received the spy’s with grace! By faith NO situation is without HOPE! You tie strings around Christmas gifts let that be a reminder of Hope. The scarlet lifeline of Christ. We don’t need more we only need Him! Less is actually more. In Giving we receive. Let love be poured out of us. That is the ultimate gift: Love!
Thank you, for sharing!
Blessings,
Becky Landrum
I like Luke best! 🙂 I enjoyed watching the video of Ann & Liz! I would really like to win this book to give to my mom-She keeps on saying that she wishes she would have ordered it and the she really wants it! Would definitely make our Christmas more special!! 🙂
When I was young, my precious and godly Mama took me and my three older brothers to church all the time. Living in the country near the church building, we’d joke about how Mama owned the building since she had keys to the church door (yes, she had keys and honestly needed them). Many times I’d help her clean the building, prepare for Lottie Moon Christmas Offering displays and other events. Growing up,my brothers and I sang in the church choir, have been shepherds, wise men, angels, and even one year I was honored to be “Mary” in our live nativity scene in front of our church. And yes, my brothers and I were always had parts in the Christmas Play. That is where we all “learned-by-heart” and could quote the Christmas Story from Luke 2:1-20. So, the Christmas Story recorded in Luke will always hold dear, and now even sweeter memories for me. Thank you, Mama!
I’ve been taking note of this book and hoping to get a copy soon. I decided to really snuggle into Advent this year, I haven’t for a while and I definitely feel a call. I think this would help me enter the story.
This book sounds great! I am definitely looking forward to checking out Liz’s blog — and starting your Advent devotional!
Can’t wait to read this! Loved ‘Bad Girls of the Bible’!
I watched the Christmas special with Liz and Ann. I would love thread Liz’s new book about the women of Christmas. Take time to slow down and ponder the real meaning of Christmas.
I don’t think I could choose between Luke’s and John’s. Luke captures the human stories brilliantly, but John gives us the essential zoom out to eternity past and the Word made flesh. Matthew’s rendition is no less God-breathed, but it is less likely to grab my particular personality. Because of Matthew, however, Joseph has my lasting respect. What courage he had to keep saying yes to obedience every day for the rest of his life without ever seeing the glorious result in his early sojourn.
I did most of my Christmas shopping in October, to avoid Black Friday, and the retail chaos of December. I look forward to a peaceful and relaxing month ahead. I love Liz Curtis Higgs’ books, and look forward to reading this one soon.
Enjoyed the video of girl talk with authors Ann Voskamp (“Woman of Christmas”) and Liz Curtis Higgs. First time I’d heard of a Jesse tree.
After viewing several horrendous videos of some women shamefully battling it out over Black Friday purchases, there would definitely be some comfort and joy to be found in the stories of women who ‘got’ it….the true meaning of Christmas….because they lived it! I’ve read Liz Curtis Higgs’ ‘Bad Girls of the Bible’ books, and I love the way she breathes life and relevancy into these women from so long ago.
Favorite rendition of Jesus’ birth? Definitely Luke. A much longer and more detailed story line.
Thanks so much for offering these copies, Margaret. Hoping you’re feeling well today…continuing to pray for zero for you and your dad!
Much love,
Pam
Our family has read Luke at Christmas, but I am reading through Matthew right now. Liz has become one of my favorite authors since seeing her at Women of Faith. Would love to be chosen for the book.
I’m looking forward to creating stillness and a time for reflection this Christmas season and I love the thought of reading both Ann And Liz’s books in combination. I bought Ann’s book and have my Jesse tree ornaments ready to go. Would love to win a copy of Liz’s book to complete my Advent preparation. Blessings & Peace to all this holiday season. Thanks, Donna
I was able to spend a few hours last week reading about these three women as I was helping one of our pastors do some research. How exciting to to see a book devoted to the same.
My favorite of the Christmas stories in the Bible is the one in Luke–probably because it is the one most familiar to me.
Margaret,
Would love to receive a copy of the book from Liz, I have been following her blog and doing her online bible studies. She is amazing. I have enjoyed getting to know you and follow your blog, as well as pray for you during your fight! You will win, cause God always wins!
Prayers,
Brandi
Thank you so much for posting this . . . every year I choose a book specifically to meditate and read on for the Advent season . . . I downloaded your advent devotional and the introduction really spoke to me – I will in box you on facebook a poem I wrote in response to the phrase “waiting rooms of life”. I am very excited about Liz’s book on the Women of Christmas – if not this year, it will be top on my list for next ! Blessings to you and Leif.
The Christmas special with Ann and Liz is wonderful!
I have read the free downloadable first chapter of this book,
and it is wonderful.
My favorite rendition of the birth of Jesus is Luke because it includes the story of Elizabeth and Mary’s awesome song. I am so amazed at these two women because of their complete trust in God’s ways and their humble willingness to do whatever God asked of them. I have been studying Elizabeth and Mary lately–would LOVE a copy of this book to augment my study!
I got to watch the video of Ann and Liz and thought this book sounded so good. Thanks for sharing with us!
I am so encouraged since discovering more women’s voices. I was rarely allowed to use mine and am still struggling to learn. Thank you so much, Margaret, for sharing who you are and what you think, and for introducing me to other women.
God bless you and Merry Christmas.
Kristine
My favorite script on the Christmas story is Luke ~ “so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught” (1:4). Love that we can be CERTAIN. As a medical doctor, Luke, is so thorough and such a student of the Word. I love that about his heart ~ the love of study ~ an attribute I share with him. Of course, all the gospel accounts offer a glimpse of the Glory of It All ~ and are perfect together ~ so like our God to do that for us 😉
I think those of us who are mentoring younger women need to make slowing down and teaching “slowing down” a priority. Thank you Liz and Margaret for helping us learn to slow down as we read and digest God’s Word!!
I love reading the Christmas story from Luke! 🙂
I just love Liz Curtis Higgs’ work – she is indeed an encourager! My favorite birth story is from Luke, maybe because it’s the one we traditionally read.
Personally, I love reading the Christmas story in Luke. The proclamations of hope and victory that Mary, Zechariah, and Simeon speak over Jesus fill me with excitement and joy. They remind me of why we celebrate every year.
I would love to receive Liz Curtis Higg’s book. What a blessing that would be. <3
I am new here…recently subscribed and also downloaded your advent study. I hope to be able to carve out time to try it. These other authors are also new to me ~ the giveaway book looks interesting, inspiring, and immensely needed in these times. Thank you for offering it!
Oops ~ forgot to say that Luke is my favorite, but I have also enjoyed reading it along with Matthew in a gospel parallels book I have from a college course I took over 30 years ago!
Liz Curtis Highs books are truley an encouraging word for women in all walks of life.
My favorite story of Jesus is from John, I love how God shows us right from the get go Christ was there.
Blessings
Kris
I like John’s rendition. It’s my favorite gospel and I just love the storytelling reminiscent of Genesis. A new start.
Awesome, thanks for the opportunity! God bless. 🙂
Would love to read this. Thank you.
Luke. Liz’s book is already on my wish list. 🙂
My husband and I started a tradition of reading the Christmas story from Luke every Christmas morning before doing anything else. This is a tradition that we have continued with our 4 children. It is so sweet, now that they are all reading, to hear them read the Scripture of the birth of Jesus. I would love to win and read this book.
What a wonderful way to view Christmas through these three women. I have given presentations on the relationship between Mary and Elizabeth but since I am now a widow of some years, it is Anna’s story that intrigues me. I can’t wait to read Liz’s telling of her witness.
Would love to dig deeper by learning more about Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna. Also really looking forward to starting your Advent devotional tomorrow!
Luke is my favorite one but they all recount so many different angles that I love them all.
Matthew 🙂
I work in retail so I always,feel like the holiday gets ruined because I am so busy at work that I don’t get a chance to enjoy it. I think this book would be great to help with crazy holiday! I will probably read the Luke version like always!!
I would love to win a copy 🙂
We always read the Christmas story from Luke on Christmas Eve. We celebrate Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve. We usually read it again on Christmas Morning as well. We’ve always tried our best to make the birth of our Savior the focus of our celebration. Our children are 18 & 21 but we’ve always made the focus of Christmas about the birth of our Lord. This Christmas will be very different as my Mom passed away last January & my father in law passed away in September. We also lost several other close family members this year, too. We know they are with the Lord but we miss their presence. I cannot imagine Christmas without my precious Mom who made Christmas such a special time but we know that we will just have to make new memories this year.
I want to learn more of the faith of Elizabeth, the submission to God’s will of Mary, and the hope of Anna.
Sounds like a great book! It would be wonderful to learn more about the women of Christmas in the Bible and find out how to emulate the qualities each of these women possessed. I actually haven’t read anything by Liz Curtis Higgs yet, so I’d love to benefit from the wisdom and insight she has to offer. I’m excited to watch the Christmas at the farm video with Liz and Ann Voskamp! Thank you for doing this wonderful giveaway!
This year our Christmas celebration will NOT include a gift exchange. My children are three young adults struggling financially in today’s economy and they (two of them) believe that rent and electricity are more important than exchanging gifts and (next year) having no memory of what was given or received. I agree. We will enjoy a delightful Christmas together with a wonderful meal and build memories without the aid of gift giving. What a blessing to be allowed to avoid so many of the pressures of the holiday season and just focus on Christ. I’m rather excited!
Luke tells the story of Christ’s birth that I go to over and over. Having said that, however, I really like what Christina said about John and Matthew.
Thank you for giving away “The Women of Christmas”, I would love to win a copy.
I have fond memories of reading the Christmas story from Luke. Every year on Christmas Eve, my grandfather would read it to us. Then when he was gone, my daddy would read it to us and our children, his grandchildren. Thank you for this opportunity.
I have seen Liz’s books for years and have heard great things. I can’t believe I haven’t made it a priority to read them. However, through Ann Voskamp and now you, I have been properly introduced and can’t wait to read her writings. Thank you for an opportunity to win a book.
A friend and I gathered a small group of 19 women to do this study. We are all loving it! I have always like the story told in Luke. Blessed.
This year I am loving John – I am obsessed with what a difference light makes in darkness. And He is THE Light! Can’t wait to read this book – Anna…learn more about her!
Luke is the go to for the Christmas story for me but I just might try one of the others this year.
Women of Christmas would be a great way to share the experience of all generations & the coming of Christ.
Thanks SO much, Margaret, for inviting me to share my heart with your readers. A blessed Christmas season to one and all!
I would love to win a copy of this book. I really enjoyed the Christmas at the Farm video with Liz and Ann, I just want to give both of them a big hug!!
I like Matthew’s account.
I never thought about the 3 different ages of these women. What a wonderful and fresh new perspective to view these familiar women from during the Christmas season. Thanks for this opportunity.
Luke, to me, tells the story better and in more detail. I love the words as they flow here
Liz’s books always are enthraling and keep my attention, while teaching me something that I didn’t know before. I would love to read her new book and learn what she has to teach about the three women of Christmas.
Awaiting the arrival of “The Greatest Gift” by Ann Voskamp, and looking forward to learning more about the good girls of the Bible through the writing of Liz Higgs — perhaps an early Christmas gift.
I love Liz Higgs. She is so “down to earth” and “real.” I invited a friend over to watch Christmas on the Farm with Liz and Ann Voskamp. We watched and had lunch together. Their love for one another and for God was so amazing. And, their love for their audience was also evident. I can’t wait to read “The Women of Christmas!”
I am loving the idea of slowing down, taking a breath and going into Christmas with Jesus first and foremost. Soaking myself in all that is out there this Advent… appreciating you gifted ladies as you share with us your heart and wisdom during this season. Bless you so much.
Something we all need to do this Christmas. Slow down. Share the TRUE JOY of Christmas.
I pray we all learn to slow down and enjoy each others company.
If I had to choose just one, I would choose Luke because it gives more of the story. I’m glad we have the other details, though, that Matthew and John bring out.
I like to read and compare/contrast all three versions but I continue to come back to Luke 2 time and time again 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of Lizz’s latest book. I know I’d appreciate the read!
I love Liz❤️ Have had the privilege of seeing her in person, reading many of her books and being a part of her Facebook. This interview was a great insight to the book… I am looking forward to reading it, winning a new copy would be wonderful. Blessings.
I am a 1+ year recovering addict. I met Liz at a Womens Tea in Cape Girardeau, MO. Meeting her and hearing her speak was part of what kicked off my journey to sobriety. I was recently laid off from my job so other than my love for the Lord and celebrating the birth of Christ, there will be no Christmas at our home. Winning one of her books would truly be treasured.
Normally I’d say Luke, as that’s the version of the story that rings through my memories of every Christmas since childhood. But this year, there is something about John’s poetic verses that are calling out to me more than usual. “The light shines in the darkness…”
I loved “Bad Girls” and would love to read Liz’s newest book! Thanks for the giveaway!
Dr. Luke’s version for me and wouldn’t it be so cool to listen to Luke and Liz sit down together and talk about this story!! 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Luke is the text I’ve heard most often, but I love each version and its own nuances. Am so glad that Liz has written another book and would love a copy,
What a wonderful giveaway..thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed watching the video on Liz and Ann. My favorite text is Luke, although I do like that Matthew goes into the geanology. I discovered Liz Curtis Higgs in a book club and love her books. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Love Liz’s books! Count me in on the giveaway!
My family loves reading Luke 2 especially at Christmas. We began reading that when my oldest son was very young.
I have been yearning to slow down at Christmas more and more for years now and I am finding myself doing just that. I have been looking for ways to make things simpler less busy. I want to spend time with family and have fun – not look up on December 26 asking myself once again “Where did Christmas go?”
I think each of the gospels is unique in the details they bring to the Christmas story, but the story in Luke brings back wonderful memories of sitting around the Christmas tree every Christmas eve with my family and reading from this gospel. I am so excited to see Liz’s new book! I have read all the Bad Girl books and can’t wait to add this one to my library!!
I like Luke’s account best. I love both Ann and Liz and would love to win one of their books. I’ve been so busy this November I haven’t had time to go to Lifeway and get them.
I LOVE Liz Curtis Higgs!! I had the WONDERFUL opportunity to be with her at Baptist Bible College for the LYFE conference the summer of 2012. She was MARVELOUS and I have read some books …..followed her blog….studied some of her on-line Bible Studies and watched the video with Ann VosKamp. Those 2 are fabulous together!! Then I realized I had read 2 of her childrens’ books to my daughter when she was young. 🙂 My daughter ( age 20) had been reading her Bad Girls of the Boble….and I had no idea!! She sooooo needed these and LOVED them. Soooo all that to say…YES!!! I would love to win one of those books. Thank-you for this opportunity.
I definitely love Luke’s account the best. As a mother, I try to envision what all was going on in Mary’s mind.
I love the real life person of Liz Curtis highs. I watched the video at the farm with Ann Voskamp. I d love to read the new book.
Liz is one amazing lady and a great Bible teacher. I would be honored to be blessed with one of her books.
Love Liz Curtis Higgs! Can’t wait to read The Women of Christmas.
Trying to slow down and focus on more God and His gift this year! Perfect time for this book!
I can’t wait to read The Women of Christmas!”
I follow her bible studies and she is so inspirational. I would love a copy.
I love the book of Luke for the retelling of Jesus’ birth. Also love Liz’ writing.
I met Liz a few years ago in Pigeon forge with Women of Joy. See is a wonderful lady and truly an inspiration to all of us ladies. I also like Lukes version of the birth of Christ it just seems to read more like a story.
Luke is my favorite. So much praise and glory from the angels and shepherds!
My ladies’ Bible study group has done two Liz Curtis Higgs books so far. Her books are so easy to read, engaging and honest and personally thought provoking. I would love to read Women of Christmas.
I also love the passages in Luke. And I lve Liz’s books, so thanks for this opportunity.
What a blessing to watch the interaction and engagement of these 2 godly women! So glad I took the time! Do not own any books by Liz yet but would love to!
This book sounds like a wonderful addition to any Christmas library! I watched the “Christmas at the Farm” clip and it was great. I appreciate your blog
Thank you for sharing the clip of Ann And Liz. It was so heart touching to see these two women discuss their books and see the friendship between them.
I love the story in Luke.
To have this book would be a great blessing to me.
Thank you
My fav book for the Christmas story is probably Luke. Why? Probably because it happens to be the one I have heard most often. I would love, love LOVE to win Liz’s new Christmas book. I watched Ann & Liz a few weeks ago and fell in love w/ them. Thanks for the giveaway.
YOU, my friend, are a gift, as are your sweet words. Thrilled to be able to share Women of Christmas to launch us into the Advent season.
I loved watching the video and the way these two beautiful ladies interact and share from their hearts! I have been a fan of Liz’s for years!!
My favorite Christmas story is from Luke. I think because it is the one we as a family have read every year on Christmas morning for the past 30 years…as the kids were old enough to participate we added the tradition of them taking turns each year of putting the baby Jesus in place in the Nativity as we read about the baby Jesus being placed in the manger. Oh how I miss this tradition as both of my kids are grown and beginning to create their own traditions.
I would love to have Liz’s book. Thanks for sharing this today.
Margaret, please know that you are in my prayers!
blessings,
Gay Idle/CaptiveHeart
Thank you for sharing the video of Liz and Ann. It was fun, just like sitting there with them chatting about their books.
My favorite is Luke. The words are part of my life and childhood. Now in a new phase of my life as a “senior” the things of my past are treasured even more. God’s Word speaks in every time of our lives.
Thank you,
I love Dr. Luke’s writing. I love that he chose to record the facts for the purpose of preserving them and passing them on.
I also love the way Liz tells a story, the way she makes the people of scripture real for her reader. I have several of her books. This one is on my wish list.
Luke is definitely my favorite, I like the details and how it flows.
Since my mother’s passing 7 years ago, it has been so hard for me to fully embrace the season of advent, try as I might. This year, I am reading your (Margaret’s) advent devotional with an expectation of anticipating the arrival of Christ anew this season. This book would be a wonderful addition to that quest. I, too, probably like Luke’s account best; the doctor’s details are beautiful.
Yesterday I put an order in to Amazon.ca for Mine Is The Night and 2 others novels Liz set in the Scottish Lowlands but decided against buying The Women of Christmas. I never thought anything could touch my heart and lead me into worship like Mary’s story as Bodie & Brock Thoene tell it in Fourth Dawn, the AD Chronicles. I re-read it every Christmas as my Advent preparation. Now after watching Christmas at the Farm, I am putting in an order for both The Women of Christmas and The Greatest Gift. Thank you, Liz and Ann, for helping me “stay in the story” and giving me ideas to enrich my family’s celebration of Christmas this year.
Shalom and Joy to you and your loved ones at Channukah and Christmas!
I too appreciate Luke’s version of Jesus’ Birth. Oh, I have to ashamedly agree with Liz on the fact that I too, am guilty of “nodding my head and barely paying attention when it’s read aloud in church.”
As I’ve been digging deeper into God’s Word, listening ever so closely to the Holy Spirit and by Midrash, God’s Word has become so beautiful to me all over again.
I would absolutely be blessed to read Liz’s new book. It would truly be a great Christmas gift for me! I want to have the story of Jesus’ birth to leave me Wonder Struck all over again! I want to feel like I was sitting right there in the inn that night.
Thank you Liz for taking your time to talk with my new, friend Margaret.
I like Luke for the Christmas Story. I also like Liz very much and she is so encouraging when she speaks and has a unique style of writing, she is just great.
Blessings to all,
Debbie
I would love the opportnity to read this. I so need to slow down
