The Message of Jesus by Patti Shene Gonzales

THE MESSAGE OF JESUSI

It was exciting this year to realize a lifelong dream by publishing my first book. No, it will never reach the New York Times best seller list. It will probably never win a contest, but the presence of it on Amazon symbolizes a great accomplishment for me.

Cathy’s Christmas Confession is a short novella, part of the multi author Christmas Ridge Romance series. Right now, it is available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited with plans for print availability next year.

I don’t expect many readers to go hunting for a Christmas story after December 25th. However, Cathy’s Christmas Confession carries a message of hope for the hurting, and people hurt all year long.

My main characters have both experienced the loss of a spouse. When Cathy senses a call to help David, an acquaintance from church, deal with his grief, her eyes are opened to a world that needs to hear about Jesus.

Together, as they strive to bring Christmas joy to others, Cathy and David’s relationship grows, along with a deeper understanding of their need for the Savior.

We can heal our own wounds by touching the lives of others with comfort, compassion, and kindness.

The holiday season may be drawing to a close, but the Christmas message of Jesus’s love for us is immortalized by our love for each other throughout the new year.

Blurb for Cathy’s Christmas Confession:

Christmas is not a time of joy for the hurting.

During a snowstorm, widow Cathy Fischer creams a stop sign on her way to work at the Christmas Ridge Community Church. Acquaintance David Martin stops to help. Cathy sees signs of deep grief in David, a recent widower. She reaches out with support in an attempt to help David through this most difficult first Christmas without his beloved wife.

David Martin struggles with grief over the death of his wife. He blames God for her rapid demise after her cancer diagnosis. Cathy reaches out to him with compassion and support and soon enlists him in her mission to bring joy to others at Christmas. Will their joint quest restore David’s faith?

David needs to turn loose of the past and embrace his future. Cathy has a confession to make to the entire community that may give David a different perspective of who she really is. Will her confession set her free?

Does God have plans in mind for the two of them they did not anticipate?
