Twelve Gifts of Christmas: From Our Heavenly Father

by Stanley Holstein

As a child, Christmas was a time of wonder for me. School was closed. Sledding, hot chocolate, decorations, and social gatherings were the order of the day. Finally, on early Christmas morning, I would scurry downstairs to behold the lights ablaze on the tree and gifts stuffed underneath. With great anticipation, and impatience, I would wait for the rest of the family to get out of bed so we could open our presents. So, “Is Christmas truly about gifts?” I say, “Yes, absolutely.” Christmas co... more

Circling the Wolf's Head

by Robert Eaton

Circling the Wolf’s Head is a series of eight loosely connected essays about the Lake Superior region that trace a clockwise route around the lake, beginning and ending in Duluth, Minnesota. While the essays circle the lake, the book is not intended to be a compendium of information about it, a comprehensive natural or cultural history of the lake and its environs, or even a travel guide to the area. Rather, it is simply the author’s attempt to capture in words his personal experiences while tra... more

The moral state of his heart determines the moral character of a man’s actions. The disposition to sin, or the habit o... more
