The Herdman's

If you have never read about the Herdman's now is the time. This is what I consider a staple Christmas book. I touched on the Herdman's around Halloween and if you read the book then you will know what I mean. Once the Herdman's get a hold of the local Christmas Pageant nothing will ever be the same. And Frankly you will never be the same either. If you need a great story to read with the family this is it. My family use to read a chapter a night out-loud. If you have older kids it will take no time at all to read but I promise you that this book will be a holiday tradition for years to come.

In time for the Holidays

So my review this week is a double review. I had the amazing privilege to see this author/composer perform this last weekend and it was an incredibly moving night. He is truly amazing. So who am I talking about?
Well his name is Michael McLean. He is a Christian writer and Wow talk about special. He is most known for The Forgotten Carols and that is the recommended reading for today. Well you have to listen too. But the book comes with the CD so you are all set. This CD instantly became a family tradition while growing up and over the years our love for his work has spread to many areas. There are very few words to describe this man and his work except that you must seek it out and enjoy it. Once you have you will completely understand that I can not put it in words. So please go out and enjoy.
