Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Like it or not it’s that time of year again. Christmas. No doubt you’ve already been bombarded with the commercialization and materialism of the Saviour’s Advent. From the radio, junk mail, TV, and stores, EVERYONE is trying to get you to buy the latest and greatest gadgets and gifts this holiday season.
So what is on your wish list? What are you hoping to receive this year? What is at the top of your “must have” list?
May I suggest that whatever else might be on your Christmas wish list, that you add to it some books? BOOKS?! Yes, books! And not just any books. But some good Christian books that will challenge you and help you grow in your spiritual walk.
Good books can be pretty expensive so why not ask for them as gifts? You could go about this a couple of ways. First, you could ask for specific books that you want to add to your personal library. That way you should get exactly what you want. The only thing to be careful about with this suggestion is that if you give the same list of wanted books to several friends or family members, they might accidentally buy you several copies of the same book. So maybe you can give different titles to different people.
Or you can ask for gift vouchers to spend at a Christian bookstore like Koorong or Word. If I get vouchers for these kinds of places I try to hold on to them until a significant sale is being offered. That way I get more bang for my dollar.
If you want to stretch your dollar even further, check out the Christian books for sale on Ebay
. I have seen many great books for sale for next to nothing. The only reason I didn’t buy them is because I already own them and unfortunately I paid a lot more for them too!
So do you know which books you want for Christmas? Do you know which books are worth purchasing and which ones aren’t? It would be a shame to waste all of that Christmas money on books priced too high or on books of poor quality and content.
