Clear Your Shelf giveaway hop (US)

Thanks Kathy aka, I am a Reader, not a Writer for allowing us the opportunity to pass on great books that we have read and want to share with everyone else.

My giveaway is US because of shipping costs.  Christmas is just around the corner, budget is kind of tight.

I will be offering one winner two items today.  The first is a calendar for 2013 by Greg Olsen.  It is a calendar that depicts pictures of Christ.  I received this copy when I attended LDSBA convention this year.  Here is a picture of the back of the calendar that shows the monthly pictures.

The second is a book for Christmas that I read last year and I hope that it will be fun for your or your family to read this year.

Here is the book description: In this new holiday classic, Tim Slover crafts a marvelous, magical novel about how Santa Claus became the man he is today. After reading The Christmas Chronicles, you’ll believe all over again in the magic of the season.
 
Snow is falling, and the clock ticks toward midnight on Christmas Eve while countless children, too excited to sleep, anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus. But in Tim Slover’s deeply charming and utterly thrilling new novel, that’s the end rather than the beginning of the story. In this richly imagined tale of Santa’s origins, the man in full finally emerges.The Christmas Chronicles is at once an action-packed adventure, an inspiring story of commitment and faith, and a moving love story.

It all starts in 1343, when the child Klaus is orphaned and adopted by a craftsmen’s guild. The boy will grow to become a master woodworker with an infectious laugh and an unparalleled gift for making toys. His talent and generosity uniquely equip him to bestow hundreds of gifts on children at Christmas—and to court the delightful Anna, who enters his life on a sleigh driven by the reindeer Dasher and becomes his beloved wife.

Still, all is not snowfall and presents. Klaus will be shadowed by the envious Rolf Eckhof, who will stop at nothing to subvert him. But in the end, Santa’s magic is at last unleashed, flying reindeer come to his aid, and an epic battle between good and evil is waged in the frosty Christmas skies.

By turns enchanting, hair-raising, and inspirational, The Christmas Chronicles is a beguiling tale destined to become a holiday favorite for the ages.
