The True Meaning of Christmas

In the small town of Millhaven, Christmas arrives the way it always does - with snow on the roofs, lights on the square, and a tree that has watched over the town for generations.Anna Reed is a widow trying to hold Christmas together for her seven-year-old son, Micah. The account is thin. The porch still sags. And Micah asks the question she cannot answer with a gift receipt:Is the real Christmas gift the one under the tree... or is there something bigger?That question becomes a prayer. The prayer does not stay in one house.It reaches a grieving carpenter. A frightened father fighting to keep his daughter. A town council staring at a developer's check that would turn the square into a parking lot. And a church that still believes the Holy Spirit can move in ordinary rooms.The True Meaning of Christmas is a faith-filled novel about the birth of Jesus, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and what happens when one honest prayer is given room to become a river.If you have ever stood at a window in a hard December and wondered whether Christmas is bigger than the wrapping paper, this story is for you.
