Hot Apple Cider

Hot Apple Cider is an inspirational anthology by 30 Canadian authors who are Christian, including Carolyn Arends, Mark Buchanan, Keith Clemons, Grace Fox, Sheila Wray Gregoire and Denyse O’Leary. They've learned that dependence on God creates the character and insights that produce a deep, rich faith. If you live in Canada and attend a Girls Night Out program this year, you'll be given a copy. If you don't live in Canada, you aren't a woman, or you can't wait, you can buy a copy of Hot Apple Cider here.

"Imagine a group of Canadians circled around a campfire. They have two things in common: They’re serious Christians and committed writers. “Let me tell you my conversion story,” calls out Deborah Gyapong. Keith Clemons reads a short story and Brian Austin recites an original poem. Grace Fox shares a devotional piece. As the fire crackles and they sip their cider, all 30 speak from their hearts. That’s the concept of Hot Apple Cider—and it’s a good one." —Cecil Murphey, author and co-author of more than 100 books, including Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story and the New York Times best-seller 90 Minutes in Heaven
