Christmas is a great time of year to start talking about books!
I am excited to talk about some of my personal Christmas classics with you. Here’s a little sneak peek about what this will include in the month of December:
Each week I will post one blog about a Christmas classic, giving a little of the history behind it and covering some of the main themes.
I like to add a personal note at the end, sharing my memories of the piece of literature. This sometimes includes connecting it with adaptations and movie versions. I would love to hear about your memories and reflections, too!
Let’s dig in to some great Christmas classics together, starting with Dickens, of course.
click on one of these copies of A Christmas Carol to purchase on Amazon so you can read along!
I always dreamed of being a writer, but never thought I could make money doing it. So, after earning a BA in English and honing my reading, analytical, and writing skills, I settled for a more "stable" career in ministry (joking, of course!), bringing my love for the written word to my Biblical studies as I learned Greek and Hebrew, Exegesis and Theology while getting an MA in Theological Studies.
I've worked in various ministry capacities in the church: children's minister, ministry staff (aka, "whatever needs doing"), ESL teacher, youth intern, and others.
Though this blog is mostly about classic literature, I will probably throw in some thoughts on writing, occasional theological musings, or my reflections on emotional health, psychology, philosophy, or cultural topics. I am a thinker and a lover of many things!
I am currently pursuing publishing my first children's novel while doing freelance writing (my profile here: https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~0104b8a9e8c1253315/).
I like to paint (and may share some of them here someday!), enjoy the outdoors, learning, reading, and growing. I also love learning about other people and helping them to realize their gifts and potential.
