A WEARY WORLD REJOICES Novella Collection, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise


A Mosaic Christmas Anthology VI

The Christmas Kiss - Stacy Monson
What is not to like about a chocolate shop, a hunky hero and a damsel in distress! The Depot shop owners all band together when disaster strikes one of their own. The building owner is a Christian who heads up the effort to pitch in to save Pip Devine and her shop. Well written clean romance. 


Unremarkable Sue - Eleanor Bertin
A story about sweet and steady, faith filled Sue. Sue just did what she had to and provided a great environment to support others. Something we could all aspire to.


Love, Christmas - Johnnie Alexander
Short but sweet story of passing along needed gifts at Christmas time- with love. Christmas should be a time of joy and giving to others. This story personifies the loving spirit. 


Gifting Christmas - Angela D. Meyer
Discover the true gift of giving joy to others. Out of a blizzard and chaos comes realizing what giving to others can mean. A blessing to the downtrodden and then for themselves. Great story. 


The Back Door Christmas Tour Company
- Sara Davison
A group of strangers go on a tour just before Christmas in Tahiti. What they find surpises them. They are led by a sweet couple who cares about their specific welfare and their physical wellbeing. Surreal in a way but they see God working in their lives. Very well done.

A great group of novellas showing the true spirit of the season.

With nothing going as planned, will Christmas be a complete disaster this year?

The people in these stories are tired, weighed down by the struggles and cares of life. In the midst of their challenging situations, each receives an unexpected letter.

Songs like "O Holy Night"are filling the airwaves and promising hope for a weary world, but what will it take for the men and women in these stories to experience true joy this Christmas?
