Great Gift Idea...

Helen Steiner Rice Barbour Publishing, 2008 ISBN: 9781597898089 Reviewed by Debra Gaynor for ReviewYourBook.com 5 Stars Great Gift idea... Living Christmas Every Day will make a great Christmas gift for a teacher, friend, or pastor. Helen Steiner Rice lives on through the inspiration of her poetry. This tiny book is one that readers will cherish. The padded cover, shiny red trim, and snow scene speaks of the Christmas season. The paper is a high quality. Along with the poetry, the reader will find scripture and devotions. This book includes a red ribbon bookmark. The message of Living Christmas Every Day is the basic elements of Christmas that so many of us have forgotten: the joy of giving to others, celebrating the birth of our Savior, prayer, and contemplation. Living Christmas Every Day offers the encouragement and hope of the true meaning of Christmas.

Great gift book for a friend for yourself

Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (9/07) This is a perfect gift book, or a book to own and keep on the bedside table year round. Although the title includes Christmas, the words of devotion are intended to keep the spirit of Christmas throughout the year. The author, Helen Steiner Rice, died in 1981; however, her devotional effort lives on. Her works are categorized into sections: Celebration, Joy, Giving, Prayer, and The Greatest Gift. I was inspired by the first narrative in the book titled "Let Us Live Christmas Every Day." The author questions: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the world of Christmas all year long? Too often we succumb to the commercialism of the season, rather than "allow the principle attributes of Christmas - selflessness, humility, hope, love, generosity, and kindness - remain. The joyful, peaceful, and abundant heart is the one that celebrates Christmas every day." And, that's exactly what this little book helps us do. The poetry and readings are filled with incentive to truly keep the spirit of Christmas alive throughout the year. Give "Living Christmas Every Day" as a gift to yourself or someone special. It is a keeper!
