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

• A middle-aged woman wakes up to discover her husband lying comatose beside her in the Australian outback.
• A young doctor questions God’s will after losing his devout grandmother to breast cancer.
• A lonely waitress stuck in a small town wonders how God could possibly use her.
• A missionary in Africa, dedicated to serving God, has a horrific car accident that leaves him brain-damaged.
• A shy twelve-year-old girl struggles with the idea that God wants her to write a letter to the editor of the local newspaper telling people God loves them.

In every instance, these ordinary people discovered that God was waiting to dry their tears and help them see His plan for their lives, where good eventually emerged from the hurt and confusion.
