From My E-mail Inbox

Dear Readers:

I delight in receiving e-mails, Facebook and blog comments, and Discussion Forum questions from so many of you. I try to respond to every message I receive (please be patient with me, as I receive a great deal of correspondence!). Today I thought I'd feature several recent messages I've received so you can enjoy them along with me:

Thanks for accepting me into your circle of friends. I just finished The Centurion's Wife. What a wonderful book! The next one is on my wish list!

Joy writes:

Soon after returning to the U.S. from Oxbridge, I picked up The Black Madonna. Couldn't put it down until…well, let's just say I attracted some strange looks, sprawled in the book aisle and engrossed as I was.

They may see your life as easy, even glamorous, however, you may want to consider that no one else lives in your reality, no one else know what it takes for you to start your day, go through your day and to complete it. Your life is most likely courage in a million different actions. Honour your journey and keep reaching higher.

My Response to Dov:

Most inspiring and challenging, Dov. Thank you so much.

I found your book Tidings of Comfort and Joy to be such a sweet story, yet it still has that "can't put it down" appeal. I homeschool my eleven-year-old daughter and decided that she and I would read it together this Christmas season.

I am enjoying the re-read, and she is hooked. It is difficult for us to find a stopping place each day. There are so many valuable lessons for us to learn and blessings to be reminded of. In reference to all of your books, hats off to you for writing truly entertaining and thought-provoking stories that we don't have to lay our Christian values aside to enjoy. You even go the extra mile and give us something that offers spiritual enrichment. Thank you.

My Response to Laura:

What a delight it was to receive your recent comments regarding Tidings of Comfort and Joy. The story marked a real milestone for me, as it was the first to develop high drama within a heartfelt emotional story. I'm so pleased it has connected with both you and your daughter.

Just in case you are interested, readers who loved Tidings have also written to say how much they enjoyed Book of Hours.
