Family Holidays

Two humorous and heartwarming inspirational stories about holidays spent with the family . . . and surviving!

Includes a bonus Tyler short story, The In-Laws!

The Holidays
Pastor Hank Donahue has had enough of Christmas, and it’s only the beginning of December. This year with all his obligations—leader of a growing church, headmaster of the church’s school, writer, husband, father, son, son-in-law, brother, brother-in-law—he may actually turn into a modern-day Scrooge.

It’s humiliating to think that a man who has given his life to the service of God and others could feel this way, but really, how much responsibility is one man supposed to take on? If he can just get through the next month, things will loosen up and he’ll get his life back.

Can the true spirit of Christmas capture this overworked pastor and teach him an important lesson about the holidays?

The Cruise
The Tyler family goes on a Mediterranean cruise together, leaving behind all their daily worries and work.
Or so they think.

Each Tyler sib has a struggle that not even the beauty of Europe can conquer. David has just finished a massive, two-continent tour but can’t relax. Mary, now on the church staff as a counselor, can’t put away her clients’ struggles. Tommy and BJ can’t let go of their businesses. And Becca can’t deal with her one-year-old’s separation anxiety.

They’ve got eleven days to find out how to achieve real rest that only come from God.

Added Bonus-short story The In-Laws:
David and Elizabeth settle into their home in the hills of Tennessee for a few months to await the birth of their second child. Even though David is thrilled to have some time being near his large family, it’s a huge adjustment for Elizabeth. She loves her in-laws, but their constant presence is jarring her already strained nerves.

Can she be honest with her husband, with his family, and, showing Christian compassion, heal the relationships that are fast deteriorating?
