 Unwrapping Christmas, Lori Copeland Publisher: Zondervan Through all the mix-ups and misunderstandings, amid the chaos and confusion, the true spirit of Christmas begins to emerge in unexpected ways for one woman as God shows her the true meaning of giving. Unwrapping Christmas is a Christmas story as heartwarming as the season itself. Tamara Butler – Library Journal Rose thinks being a good Christian means trying to take care of everyone by taking on more responsibilities with her church and the community until she is exhausted and mentally spent. This Christmas season is no exception, as she manages the thrift shop, works for church events, and shoulders her friends’ personal problems. This, of course, leaves Rose with little time to spend with her own family or to appreciate the wonders of the holiday. This novella from one of the genre’s most popular authors (Yellow Rose Bride) reminds us that only God can carry the whole world. Recommended for public library collections.

Unless noted, all synopsis are from BN.com I’ve not read any of these to date.
I snagged House of Dark Shadows a couple weeks back. Doesn't it sound gooood?
Have you seen the follow up cover to Love on a Dime?
They all look good, Juju!! I just couldn't decide!! I can't wait to read them! Thanks so much to Zondervan & Thomas Nelson — I couldn't read without you… well, not as inexpensively nor as enthusiastically!
This is their best idea yet! Giving away the first in a series… you just can't stop reading a series!
I'm loving the Ladies of Summerhill book covers, too, Juju!!
