For people of faith who desire to extend their Sabbath or Sunday expression into every corner of life, a gift that proclaims the faith would be most fitting this h liday season. Books are the obvi. us first choice, having mass appeal a* d an attractive one-size-fits-all “kuepability.” That they come in all colors and flavors helps, too.
Christians seeking to bestow such a gift on fellows in the faith can find an abundance that almost overwhelms. Let’s narrow the list to current titles so we can have a workable project.
Max Lucado writes in a cozy, accessible, anecdotal way that puts across God’s nature and love directly to the reader. His “When Christ Comes” (Word Publishing) does not disappoint. Popular devotional writer Kay Arthur offers “Our Covenant God” (WaterBrook Press) in her practical, sensible style.
And you can’t top the world’s alltime best-seller, always-in-style Holy Bible itself as the perfect gift. Try the Quest Study Bible, New International Version, chock full of frequently asked questions — and answers — in the margins.
Crown Books in Leesburg and Sterling has a nicely stocked religion shelf. The store’s “Meditations from a Simple Path” (Ballantine) by Mother Teresa, or the biography of Pope John Paul II, “Witness to Hope” (HarperCollins) by George Weigel, would make lovely gifts.
