Glad Tidings
Christmas is such a wonderful time of year with its bright lights and presents under the tree. There are lots of cookies, and treats, family get togethers; parties, and other festivities the whole month through, each of which can bring a fast busy pace, including shopping in anticipation of the ‘Big Day’.
Children everywhere look forward to Santa coming down the chimney with any number of Elven made toys! There are also movies and songs, and well, all kinds of joys!
But in this celebration let us not forget to ask ourselves a few very important questions like:
- Have we thought about the real reason we celebrate this wonderful holiday or Holy Day?
- Do we sometimes get lost and tied up in the thoughts and traditions of the season? Are we so busy with all of our obligations and expectations within these traditions that we forget the deeper meaning of Christmas?
- Do we understand why the event of our Savior’s birth is so crucial and ought to be revered? And that we are meant to find joy in celebrating His birth and His name?
Here we hope by sharing this work through our accompanying Book, Music, and fine works of Art, (each of which are able to be purchased at: CenteringChristmasInChrist.com) that you will indeed take the opportunity to remember and reflect on the original story of Christmas.
Indeed we hope you will be strengthened in your testimony or awareness of Jesus the Christ and so rediscover all of the joys that are found in celebrating His birth and His life of love and light.
Each section of the book is designed to easily allow individuals, families, and friends, the opportunity to sit together and experience messages based on the original nativity story on a weekly basis.
Every week, beginning with Thanksgiving Day, our book provides a new story or message to reflect on. Some are intentionally kept light and fun while others allow for a deeper understanding. There are five weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus there is one special message for Christmas Day. That’s a total of six messages! In addition, each section of the book offers an original homemade recipe you can make at home!
We hope these weekly messages will enhance your understanding of Jesus Christ and how Christmas can provide more joy than the world alone affords.
There is real power in reading, hearing, and seeing works that uplift the human spirit. These help us open our hearts and minds. They enable us to more fully live what we feel.
We know all should find joy in the words, music, and art that are to be discovered here. All works are original pieces designed and approved specifically for this project. There’s no wrong way to approach this work as long as it helps you come closer to Christ.
The creators and performers of this work are expressly humbled and thrilled to be able to present these gentle thought-provoking tokens of Christmas to you. Like you, we stand in eternal gratitude for the supernal gifts God offers us through His Son Jesus Christ.
As you and your loved ones gather together, may you find added peace and happiness. May a greater awareness of all that our Lord and Savior did and still does for each of us daily, fill your souls with gratitude.
…From our hearts to yours we sincerely wish you, your family, and your friends, a Very Merry Christmas!!
Testimonials
It all began with this idea that I should do a Christmas music album. Sing the good ol’ tunes like White Christmas and such. Then it hit me that I should transform this into something different, something special and unique. The next thing I knew, the Spirit was directing me and some great friends of mine to create something new with a powerful message to remember Him. It wasn’t about me anymore. My purpose was much more defined in this project. Although music is powerful, how much more powerful would this message be with the written word and visual art to go with it? I know that if we look to Him and remember Him, you will find more peace and comfort in your life in this endlessly troubled world.

Anytime one of us can speak or act in favor of the Savior there is peace. This is what the world needs now, especially now. It has been an absolute privilege to write a few words in the hope that you the reader would find the same type of solace I and my friends have enjoyed in the production of this work. The Lord’s Spirit was strong in the effort.
We’ve titled this compilation ‘The Savior – God’s Perfect Gift’, with the subtitle ‘Centering Christmas in Christ’ suggesting that the gentle reality of Christmas is too often set aside when it should be seen at the very center of our lives.
Our greatest hope is that by remembering the joy of Christmas in your own life that an added sense of peace may be brought to you, and that through this overall work you may more richly feel the solace of God’s Heavenly gift of He who is our Savior, even Jesus Christ. After all, when the Yuletide celebrations are over it is only in and through Him that we can know the kind of peace this world is actually seeking…

This truly has been an incredible experience for me as I pondered the significance and spirit of each of these events and then tried to capture and paint what I felt. Through this experience, I have come closer in my relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven. I have done my best to transmit what I felt in those moments into each brush stroke. It’s my hope that this work can bless your life as much as it has blessed my life in helping to create it.

When I was asked if I could take part in this project, I was excited for the chance. Helping to bring to life a book that helps bring forth the light of Christ into people’s homes as well as the true Christmas spirit is both heartwarming and moving. I’ve always loved and preferred the sweet tender comfort and peace of the Nativity and Christ’s birth. I love that the true meaning of Christmas holds so much spiritual light and love for us. I hope as we all reach out to each other this season, that this book can soften hearts, remind the world of his love, and bring us all closer to Christ and the true meaning of Christmas.
