Good Advent Read: Derek Maul's In My Heart I Carry a Star


Rarely have I stuck to reading through something consistently for the entire Advent season. Let's just say, so far so good! Hopefully this post won't jinx my efforts.

I am working with Tampa Tribune columnist, Derek Maul, on a retreat to be held in April. In November he came out with In My Heart I Carry a Star: Stories for Advent. And stories they are.

Derek has a wonderful story telling ability and is not afraid to reveal his emotions and thoughts in a way that only an authentic style of communication can do. It's not too late to order this book for a read after Advent or even to hold for next year.
