Santa's Birthday Gift for 2011

Santa’s Birthday Gift is an attempt to include Santa in the meaning of Christmas. (After I read a story of the nativity to my young granddaughter, she looked at me and asked “But where’s Santa?”) The editor who critiqued this book wrote: “What a cute story! I know there are many stories about how Santa came into the picture, but this is a delightful idea behind the gifts at Christmas.” The story is best for ages 3-10, to be read to children who still believe in Santa! This book received a 2011 National Indie Excellence Finalist Award, and is a 2011 Readers Favorite Finalist. ~ Sherrill Cannon

Other books by Sherrill S. Cannon include:

Revival: The True Fairy Tale by Lydia and Kiya Thornton is a biblically and scripturally based Christian Fiction Adventure. A well written and intriguing allegory, this tale will take you on the journey of a lifetime as you join Nina, a young girl, and Kyle, a very young boy, as they experience magnificent wonders and phenomenon on Earth, in Heaven and in Hell. An eye-opener at the very least, get ready to set some time aside as each chapter is thoroughly engaging using creative imagery and impelling dialogue, intertwining an unforgettable expedition. You won’t believe your eyes with this book, as God’s Kingdom is revealed unveiling the difference of the spiritual and the physical realm we reside in. Notably, throughout the journey, sin is exposed and the reality of Heaven and Hell are also presented. Revival: The True Fairy Tale will leave an indelible imprint on your soul and give you a strong conviction of what sin is and who and why Jesus died on the cross for your sins.

This fascinating venture begins with Nina, a sweet, loveable little girl who gave her heart to Jesus as a very young girl. She loves Jesus with all her heart and is encountered by an old woman who gives her a very special trinket. The small trinket lays dormant in her Hope Chest, but one day, she decides to do what the old woman had told her to do.

She soon finds herself in a far away land, a fairy tale land. This is where young Kyle, a small boy, who she takes under her wing, and Nina set out on a trip full of breathtaking and inspiring experiences to unravel the mystery of what the old woman had spoken to her. Following many clues along their path, this tale intertwines the Holy Scriptures in such a way that is not only intriguing, but also convincing and convicting as well.

The authors, Lydia and Kiya Thornton have written this tale in such a way as to expose many of the lies of Satan, exposing sin and revealing the truth about God’s Holy Word. This book will not only educate a person about the Lord and His Holiness, but also about what the world accepts versus what is acceptable to the Lord.

Truly a creative masterpiece, this book will keep you coming back for more. This book is of very high quality and maintains integrity in scripture that is non-compromising. This book is a blessing to the Body of Christ and can be used as a ministering tool to those who don’t believe in God, Heaven or Hell. This book causes strong conviction of the heart and will cause many to re-evaluate their lives in retrospect to the scripture contained in this highly electric and raw adventure story.

“Who’s on Board?” by Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr. is an inspiring and scripturally based bible study. The author discusses twelve checkpoints that help the reader to understand what it is to be a “born-again” believer. Filled with scripture application, Author Dr. Joseph Hysekll Jr., has carefully laid down a solid foundation built upon the Holy Scriptures. The twelve checkpoints then can be discussed in a small group setting or read individually. The author indicates that many profess to be a Christian, but their life does not demonstrate a life lead by the “indwelling” of the Holy Spirit. This book will identify the “born-again” believer and demonstrates the difference between knowing about God, and really knowing Christ in the power of His resurrection.

An exciting and short read, this book is an excellent ministering tool that can be used to bring others into the Kingdom of God. This study, as suggested by the author, is recommended for groups not bigger than ten to keep the teachings on a very personal level. Written with much wisdom from scripture and from a man that has over 52 years in ministry as a Pastor, teacher and missionary, Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr.s’ teaching has captured the essence of what it means to be “born-again.”

Section II of the book includes uplifting and inspirational poetry by the author written all to glorify the love and power of God. This encouraging selection of poetry will be sure to touch your heart, just as the Psalms identify with the condition of one’s heart and emotions. A true writer at heart, Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr. captures the wisdom and love of the scripture through sharing his brilliantly poignant poetry. This section is a testament to the love and truth of the scriptures and is a true gem, one that shall be treasured by readers inspired by poetry.

The ideals set forth by Author Joseph Hyskell Jr. have been tested and tried by the author and proven to be overwhelmingly victorious. Become a true believer and inspire others to have their lives changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This book, with much prayer as the author notes, will help you do just that.
