Discover how rough-hewed shelters become a home in which faith, hope, and love can flourish. Marvel in the blessings of Christmas celebrations without the trappings of modern commercialism where the true meaning of the day shines through. And treasure this exclusive collection of nine Christmas romances penned by some of Christian fiction’s best-selling authors.(20110831)ReviewThe authors do a good job of showing the complex relationships between men and women. There are misunderstandings, fearing to accept or declare love, trying to deal with the children in the family, and then living in a one or two bedroom log cabin is enough to get on anyone nerves. There are different nationalities, odd family units, dangers from animals and Indians, and more. The authors are very factual about living back in the 1800’s. It wasn’t easy, but a well-built cabin and someone to love makes it a lot better.This book would make a nice Christmas gift. It’s a book that would be fun to read each Christmas season, just pack it away with your Christmas ornaments. The stories are short enough they would work for reading aloud, too. I really enjoyed reading it.(Marianne Arkins Long and Short Reviews )Although they are all set in the pioneer days, each of these stories is truly timeless. Love, faith and redemption are consistent themes throughout the collection, with each set of characters struggling to find their way through physical and emotional trials. Faith and trust in God is the overriding theme, connecting the stories in the collection as strongly as the holiday setting itself. A wonderful introduction to the work of nine talented authors, A Log Cabin Christmas is a collection you will return to time after time.(Joyce Greenfield Eye on Romance ) Book DescriptionPenned by an exclusive selection of Christian fiction authors—including Margaret Brownley, Wanda E. Brunstetter, and Jane Kirkpatrick—this collection of nine romances will become an instant treasure.

Essential reading for all Bible historians."—(Andrew Collins, author of "From the Ashes of Angels" and "Gateway to Atlantis") During his reign, the Pharaoh Akhenaten was able to abolish the complex pantheon of the ancient Egyptian religion and replace it with a single god, Aten, who had no image or form. Seizing on the striking similarities between the religious vision of this "heretic" pharaoh and the teachings of Moses, Sigmund Freud was the first to argue that Moses was in fact an Egyptian. Now Ahmed Osman, using recent archaeological discoveries and historical documents, contends that Akhenaten and Moses were one and the same...
