Seeing Jesus at Christmas has Trudy Jenson from Holding Jesus facing some changes in her life. The good news is that Jesus is still with her. I loved how this book shows all the ways that Jesus helps Trudy as she goes about life and gets ready for Christmas while helping her clients deal with their issues. I love the way Jones portrays Jesus as a loving advocate, showing how Jesus longs to be a part of our lives. I highly recommend the whole Seeing Jesus series.
I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
The Christmas season is supposed to be about peace on earth. Trudy Jensen knows that’s true, she also knows she’s lost track of that peace.
In the span of a few months, she's convinced her aging mother to trade Florida sunshine for rainy Oregon, sold one house, bought another, recovered from an injury, and said yes to far too many church commitments. Now Christmas is approaching, and Trudy is exhausted.
Somewhere in all the busyness, she fears she's lost sight of what the season is really about—and lost track of her mysterious lifelong friend, Jesus, who has appeared to her at unexpected moments throughout her life.
Will he come again this Christmas? Will she see him when she needs him most—or has the noise and hurry of her too-full life made it harder to recognize his presence?
As the holidays draw near, Trudy must rediscover the quiet miracle at the center of it all—and remember that the one whose birth she celebrates has never truly left her alone.
Seeing Jesus at Christmas is a warm, hope-filled special holiday edition of the beloved Seeing Jesus series, where ordinary people encounter Jesus in the middle of ordinary life. It's a Christmas story about slowing down, finding peace in the midst of chaos, and discovering that Jesus may be much closer than we think
Jeffrey McClain Jones, known by his friends (and some enemies) as Jeff, is a bestselling Amazon author of over 30 books, specializing in supernatural Christian fiction. He grew up in a Baptist church, went to a Christian High School and graduated from Houghton College, in Houghton, NY (1984). As an undergraduate he majored in both writing and Bible (not writing the Bible). He took graduate degrees in theology and ethics at Wheaton College Graduate School and Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Finishing with a Ph.D. from Northwestern University. Born in Denver, CO, he was raised in Lincoln, NE and has lived most of his adult life in the suburbs of Chicago.
He loves movies and can recite his top ten list given the slightest provocation. Walking along the river path near his house and reading on the deck next to the pond both give him joy and negative ions (look it up). He writes all his books where he can see the bird feeder on the back deck. Don’t get him started about the latest species he saw out there.
His passion is to write about Jesus as a living person who impacts the modern world, working through the imaginations and the hands and feet of his people. He believes God is supernatural and that the followers of Jesus are too.
