Three Wise Women

One evening long ago, three women in three very different corners of the world are struck by the light of a bright new rising star, and each feels compelled to follow it. The three women meet on a path of starlight, and together they walk through the hills to a small thatched stable, where a baby lies in a makeshift crib, surrounded by expensive gifts. The women have nothing to give except gifts from the heart. Mary Hoffman?s beautiful story, enhanced by Lynne Russell?s glowing artwork, gently reminds all readers of the contributions women have made to Christianity.

When they set out on a walk on a windy day, three silly women let their imaginary worries get the better of them.

Elizabeth, Mary and Anna recognized Jesus as their promised Savior and shared their knowledge of this great gift with all who would hear.

In a century where being busy is worn as a badge of honour, it's a feat to even find time to host friends for a home cooked meal. The last thing you want to do is spend all night fussing in the kitchen. Let the Three Wise Women lead you. In an effort to empower all home cooks, Annabelle Chapple has spent a year rigorously testing her three grandmothers' most outstanding recipes and soaking up their immense knowledge in the kitchen. These recipes are foolproof, most can be made ahead of time and all are guaranteed to delight the diner. ANNABELLE CHAPPLE is a former television news journalist and producer turned food writer, restaurant critic and cooking teacher.

A Classic Retelling of the Birthing of Jesus story from a 'Coming of Age' perspective consistent with cultural norms of the day. It has been 2000 years since Jesus Christ was born - as told in the bible. But the evangelists were not present then, so the story contains only a few historical facts, but many myths and symbols: Joseph and Mary had to travel to Bethlehem because of the census of the Roman empire. Imagine the stable of the guest house, where the pregnant Mary had to spend the night, and imagine a 10-year-old girl who happens to find Mary in pain when she wanted to look after her horse there. It is this girl who calls her mom and grandma, both midwives, for help.... here is the story of the birth of Christ told from a female point of view. Enjoy!

With Christmas almost here, Inspector Witherspoon and everyone in his household is upset at the possibility of having to cancel their holiday plans—all to solve a case that seems impossible. Only Luty Belle, Ruth, and Mrs. Goodge refuse to give up and let the crime become a cold case. In fact, the American heiress, the charming next-door neighbor, and the formidable cook use all of their persuasive powers to get the others on board, because these three wise women know justice doesn't take time off for Christmas.
