Book Description
Christmas, 1987. The air crackled with anticipation, a sweet blend of pine needles and cinnamon swirling through the streets. For Jenny, a woman with a heavy heart and a hefty inheritance, this Christmas would be unlike any other. She found herself in possession of a crumbling department store called Waddles, a place steeped in memories and the fading scent of Christmas magic. Driven by a yearning to recapture the joy of her own childhood Christmases and a desire to spread the magic of the season, Jenny set out to revive Waddles. But her journey was far from simple. The store was struggling financially, its staff a peculiar mix of eccentrics with a penchant for the past. Clarence, the former warehouse king, obsessed with vintage Christmas lights, Beatrice, the lovestruck finance manager who believed in the power of perfume, and a cast of colorful characters filled the store with both chaos and warmth. As the holidays approached, Jenny discovered that Waddles held secrets hidden within its walls, whispers of a past that intertwined with her own. She was forced to confront the shadows of her past, unravelling the truth about her late husband and the secrets he left behind. But amidst the challenges, the magic of Christmas held sway. The staff, united by their shared love for Waddles and the season, found strength in each other, discovering that the greatest gifts are often found in the warmth of friendship and the power of believing in the impossible. Come, step inside Waddles and let the spirit of Christmas transport you back to a time of simple joys, heartfelt wishes, and the enduring magic of the season.

Book Description
An invitation to explore the life-giving lessons we can learn from the Earth, featuring stunning photography and reflections from an acclaimed visual artist The Earth is the first tangible gift we were given. Yet when did you last pause to appreciate the immensity of the ocean, wander in silence through an ancient forest, or behold the grandeur of a mountain? How long has it been since you’ve felt grass beneath your feet? Accompanied by awe-inspiring full-color photography from landscape cinematographer and visual artist Stephen Proctor, Wild Wonder: What Nature Teaches Us About Slowing Down and Living Well combines pastoral observations about creation with an exploration of how it can provide healing to our minds and bodies. Divided into five parts that are each devoted to a unique aspect of nature—oceans, forests, rivers, ice, and mountains—Proctor encourages readers to recognize how being outside restores us and offers us a renewed sense of awe and wonder for the Creator. In each of the thirty brief essays, he points to some of the deep lessons nature can teach us. We can appreciate the gift of silence while observing a glacier, gain a new perspective on top of a mountain, learn the skill of slowing down from a river, and experience a metaphor of redemptive life after death through nurse logs. Each part includes an interview from an artist whose inspiration has been drawn from nature and ends with a “Time to Fly!” section that features reflection questions, simple action prompts, and sources for further exploration. Whether outdoor enthusiasts or armchair adventurers, readers of this book will be drawn into a more holistic and contemplative way of life and a deeper awareness of the beautiful world around them.
