"Inventive
and filled with grace, Hot Apple Cider is just what its
name implies: an open door, a warm invitation, a friend when needed
and least expected, a gentle calling toward a generous life. From
the shores of Australia and a woman’s grief, to Romania and
a choice we all must make, to the town of Stuckville anywhere in
the world and a dozen other settings, in prose and poetry and non-fiction,
these stories remind us that God draws us together and speaks to
us uniquely and in community. If you’re looking for inspiration,
something to breathe in for reassurance that you’re not alone,
something to remind you to hear God’s voice in acts of compassion,
spend an afternoon with Hot Apple Cider. It could just
change your life."
—Jane Kirkpatrick, award-winning author of
All Together in One Place
"In
the midst of our often-chilling nightly newscasts, the book Hot
Apple Cider offers a tempting and “toasty” reprieve.
Filled with stories that will melt your heart, you’ll want
to keep it as handy as your favourite throw. This book is a wonderful
way to feature the rich giftings of some of Canada’s most
talented writers. Let us encourage you to wrap your hands around
this cup of creativity and drink in the warming words of these fine
authors, many of whom we have been privileged to have as guests
on our TV program. Go ahead... pour a cup!"
—Ron and Ann Mainse, hosts of 100 Huntley
Street
"Much
in the tradition of Chicken Soup for the Soul, these delightful
readings are like a cozy cup of hot cider. Settle in for a moment
of warmth and reflection. You will find Hot Apple Cider
to be exactly what it promises. Enjoy!"
—Brian C. Stiller, President, Tyndale University
College & Seminary
"Every
person has a story and I have learned so much from listening over
the years. I now take more personal time to read, reflect and meditate.
Hot Apple Cider is perfect for those quiet moments to slow
down, to gain insight and be refreshed. I often found myself smiling!"
—Paul Henderson, Director, LeaderImpact group;
former NHL & Team Canada hockey player
"Thoroughly
enjoyable! Hot Apple Cider is a literary banquet table
enticing the reader to explore, taste and ponder a diverse sampling
of passions, experiences, intriguing personalities and life lessons.
The compelling flavour is Canadian—a unique blend of personal
history, culture and faith values. Congratulations! May this be
the first of many compilations celebrating Canadian Christian writers."
—Margaret Gibb, President, Women Alive
