Author Alan Anderson?s New Children?s Book Celebrates the Christmas Spirit


MURRAY, Utah (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

For many people, the Christmas season is a time of happiness, family and celebration. This is especially true for Alan Anderson. In his new book, The Christmas Sleigh (published by WestBow Press), Anderson weaves his fond memories of Christmas into a children?s story book that is sure to put anyone in the Christmas spirit.

The Christmas Sleigh tells the story of a young girl who is out on the town celebrating Christmas. Her parents, who are separated, put aside their differences for the evening on behalf of their daughter. While on a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the park, the friendly driver tells an exciting Christmas story about his own life which in the end has a magical affect on his customers.

Tommy the Christmas sleigh driver only seeks to make his passengers happy, an outlook on life that Anderson hopes will touch readers. ?It is a story that can have great affect upon anyone willing to listen and apply, but there is more to him than meets they eye and Anya comes to learn his secret.?

?Happiness cannot be found in seeking after selfish pleasures,? says Anderson, ?it can only be found as one puts forth sincere effort to make others happy.?

Inspirational Family Game Website Celebrates One Year Anniversary with New Games & New Blog



Sumner, MI (PRWEB) July 6, 2009

When it comes to wholesome games, most of what people find at big box retailers and toy stores are largely inappropriate. Many board games and video games these days are riddled with violent images and are mostly built around television characters and property. For the parents who truly value family time, there’s www.TheChristianFamilyShop.com.

“This business was started to honor God,” said Carol Terwilliger.

Terwilliger is the founder of TheChristianFamilyShop.com. She launched the website in June 2008 with the notion of spreading the Gospel and togetherness through Christian games.

“I’m devoted to families,” said Terwilliger. “I have kids, grandkids and foster kids. I have found that these Christian youth games are great ways to entertain them.”

Since its debut a year ago, the website has added several new products. One of its most recent additions is the hit computer game “Praise Guitar,” a music-based computer game with a guitar controller that uses Christian songs instead of secular music.

Another addition that coincides with The Christian Family Shop’s one year anniversary is the introduction of its educational blog, www.TheChristianFamilyBlog.com.

“With the blog, we want to encourage families to do things together and be active,” Terwilliger explained. “It’s a good tool to write about the games and the additional products on the web store.”

While many game and toy stores exist to simply sell and uses superficial elements to appeal to children, TheChristianFamilyShop.com combines the message of God with the concept of bringing families together in order to get back to the basics of the important parts of life.

“This is a family-oriented site and we want families to explore their time together,” said Terwilliger. “We are also centered on honoring God.”
