No Matter What, Rejoice! Challenging Christians to make lasting memories this holiday season.

Are you creating holiday heirlooms of gratitude and warm memories for your family? Do you celebrate the King of Kings or do you participate in festive idolatry? REJOICE challenges traditional personal and cultural holiday plans, then warms your heart with simple messages of faith and truth.

Published in 2010, the questions posed in REJOICE cause more frequent and passionate discussion and debate now than they did then. What is the meaning of Christmas? Have celebrations and established habits eclipsed the earth-shattering news of Emmanuel (God with us); that a savior is born to bring peace and reconciliation between a holy God and sinful man?

Use this short book to consider the state of Christmas in your own heart and that of your family. Since I wrote this piece Christmas looks a lot different in my family. Many of our friends have also made substantial changes in how scarce resources of time, cash, and energy are spent. We've dialed the volume of glitz and gifts way down - but love, fellowship, and gratitude washed in to more than fill every empty place.

Older titles remain in their original form. It's tempting to want to take lessons learned from articles and books I've written in the years since to edit or improve the quality of earlier projects, but I've made the commitment to let each message stand on its own. May you find something in this little book to make your Christmas more meaningful and leave a greater legacy of love for your family.
