Finding Blessing—Coming Soon

Yes, it’s getting to be that time of year again . . .

Not only are we preparing to release another book, it just happens—pause, while the sleighbells ring—it just happens—second pause, while the smell of pine needles and peppermint wafts through the air—it just happens—third pause, while a flurry of perfectly-formed snowflakes flutter down like confetti from the skies—it just happens that this is a Christmas story!

Sheep Among Wolves Publishing is excited to be releasing Finding Blessing (Fellowship of Light, # 1.5) by Chelsea Burden in just a couple of weeks. If you love Christmas stories—faith-building stories—and stories about Maple Creek—then Finding Blessing is the novella for you.

Finding Blessing

by Chelsea Burden

The snowflakes swirled in mesmerizing sequence, and the wind howled as it pressed against the side of the vehicle. Six members of the Hall and Matthews families sat in tense silence within. If only they could reach their destination safely!

Other winds than the present snow-laden blast had blown contrary to their plans during the week-and-a-half before Christmas. As the young friends organized a performance of “Good King Wenceslas,” difficulties swirled around them like the eddying winds of the snowstorm or the “cold wind’s wild lament” which had assailed the good king and his faithful page.

And when catastrophe threatened to bring all their plans crashing down, and a change of perspective gave them a new idea of the important things in life, they were left with a choice.  Could they choose to follow in the steps of the noble king, or would the real lesson behind the story of Wenceslas be lost?

Finding Blessing and the Fellowship of Light Series

Chronologically, Finding Blessing falls right in the middle of By This Shall They Know. It details the adventures of the Christmas that is basically passed over in the longer book.

If, like me, you happen to be the ultra-crazy-fan-club type of reader, and can’t resist the temptation to stick a bookmark in Novel One, and slip the Christmas story in right where it belongs—then you’ve got your heads-up here and now. If, however, you’re one of the steady, sensible kind who are reading the series sequentially, then Finding Blessing comes AFTER By This Shall They Know. By This Shall They Know is Fellowship of Light, #1. Finding Blessing is Fellowship of Light, #1.5.

Whichever method you choose, you will love this glimpse of a Christmas with the Matthews and Hall families, as familiar characters challenge you to look deeper than the glittering surface of your holiday celebration and find the true blessing of self-sacrifice.
