The Journal is the tenth book Mrs. Beckley has written for Xlibris. It is an interactive book. This book introduces the readers to Sister Mary Edwina and her class. She has given an assignment to them on their Most Memorable Christmas Vacation Ever. This book shows the reader how each student writes their assignment and what happens to them ten years later. It also tells how Andre, Cameron, Cheyenne, and Nancy value their friendship, as well as their friendship with Sister Mary Edwina, Father Chris, and the Reverend Mother. I hope you all have enjoyed Peggy, The Three-Some Book 2, The Writer’s Corner Book 3, The Golden Nugget Book 4, Emily Book 5, This Is As Good As It Gets Book 6, The 1940 Diary Book 7, Pockets Book 8, Pam and Jodi’s Journey Book 9, and The Journal Book 10. This book has been written for my friends and family, especially Angela, Aunt Edwina, Bobbie, Gwen, Jane, Jean, Kate, Paul, Peggy, Susan, Toni, Sister Mary DeChantel, Father Don, Fred, and my parents, Elizabeth and Fred. If some of you are wondering if I fashioned any of the characters after me, the answer is yes. Nancy was fashioned after me, and the nuns were fashioned after the nuns I taught with and under throughout my teaching career. Sister Mary Edwina was fashioned after a nun my daughters had in school and whom I taught under. Her name was Sister Mary DeChantel. I learned a great deal from her, and every time I see a butterfly or roses, I think of her. There were even roses and butterflies at her funeral recently. A lot of the experiences in this book happened to my family and me and are still very vivid in my memory. I thought you might enjoy them.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two lifelong friends decide to trade places the week before Christmas and end up finding love along the way in this delightful novel from the queen of holiday stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. Peter Armstrong and Hank Colfax are best friends, but their lives couldn’t be more different. Peter, the local pastor who is dedicated to his community, spending time visiting the flock, attending meetings, and, with the holiday season approaching, preparing for the Christmas service and live nativity. As a bartender, Hank serves a much different customer base at his family-owned tavern, including a handful of lonely regulars and the local biker gang. When Peter scoffs that Hank has it easy compared to him, the two decide to switch jobs until Christmas Eve. To their surprise, the responsibilities of a bartender and a pastor are similar, but taking on the other’s work is more difficult than either Peter or Hank expected. As the two begin to see each other in a new light—and each discovers a new love to cherish—their lives are forever changed. In The Christmas Spirit, Debbie Macomber celebrates the true meaning of the holidays and the inclusive community spirit that binds us all.
