THE
WASHINGTON TIMES Said ...
"The Golden Ring is destined to become a classic
that will be read by everyone
who wants to get closer to the
essence of Christmas."
AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION - Randall
Murphree, Editor "I read a lot of fiction, particularly
Christian fiction. And I enjoy novellas, particularly
Christmas stories. Having read scores of them over the past
decade or so, I can say without reservation that in every
regard -- style, story, substance -- The Golden Ring
merits a place on the Christmas Classics shelf right
alongside A Christmas Carol, The Other Wise Man and
more contemporary bestsellers VanLiere's The Christmas
Shoes or Richard Paul Evans' The Christmas Box."
The Golden Ring -
A Christmas Story
was inspired by a wonderful and sentimental tale my grandmother
recounted to me one morning as she reminisced about a
special childhood Christmas
memory. This Christmas book
is a bestseller, and has received international recognition. It has been
featured on network radio and television, as
well as in dozens of newspapers and magazines, such as Family Circle,
which published
a condensed version of The
Golden Ring in its holiday issue.

The Story Behind
The Story
It
is just days before the Christmas of 1918 in Meyersdale, a picturesque
township nestled in the dense snow-covered mountains of western
Pennsylvania's coal country. Anna, an idealistic nine-year-old, has an
especially close relationship with her father, Joseph; a hardworking
engineer on the B&O railroad. One of Anna's most precious possessions is
a golden ring that was given to her on her ninth birthday by her
parents. A series of puzzling dreams are shared by Joseph and Anna about
Jesus, and the
giving and receiving of a ring. These visions in the night mystifies them both. The dreams, and some
astonishing events demonstrate the importance of Anna's ring. Their
search for the meaning of these dreams leads them to share an emotional
and bonding Christmas experience. The dreams and events surrounding them
would prove to be the harbinger of significant and poignant truths. From
it Anna and her father would learn much about the human potential for
generosity and the virtues of giving, as well as our capacity for love
and faith. The experience, born from a common vision in the night, will
forever change Anna's and Joseph's feelings toward the holiday and each
other.
This spiritual
journey will bring you closer to the true meaning of
Christmas, regardless of your religion.
If you are looking for a heartwarming read that will awaken
your emotions, stop looking, because this it it! The
Golden Ring is a Christmas Book the entire family can enjoy
