A few days ago, I pulled a copy of the original Hot Apple Cider down off my shelf and started reading it. I had
read it when it first came out four years ago but I’m enjoying it all over
again now. I am an extremely fast reader with a low retention rate, which
allows me to enjoy all over again books that I have read in the past.
Hot Apple Cider is
a book worth reading again. In the past four years, 30,000 copies have been
given out at Girls Night Out and Couples Night Out events, and 15,000
additional copies have been sold, making Hot Apple Cider a Canadian bestseller.
Jane Kirkpatrick says, “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.”
People sometimes find they have a bit of extra time during the Christmas season to read a book. Hot Apple Cider is a great choice for winter reading for yourself, or it would make a great gift for just about anyone on your Christmas list. You can also put it together as a gift set with A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider. Both books are available on Amazon or directly from the publisher.
To beat the winter blues, curl up
with a cup of Hot Apple Cider!

This is really great and much inspiring blogpost with regards to the best gifting option.
Thanks, Alice! This looks like a really great website, especially for people who are sending gifts to people who live far away.
Dorene, the more involved I've become in writing, the slower my reading has become. (Hmm, my retention is much less than it used to be, too.)
On Hot Apple Cider -- Second Cup. My wife has just finished her second reading through the book, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
