In Store Author Event: Mardel in Colorado Springs, Saturday December 22th -- Christmas book just in time for Christmas!

I will be at the Mardel Christian bookstore in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this Saturday, December 22th, signing my new book Prophecies Fulfilled in the Birth of Jesus.

For details about this book, please click the "New: Prophecies Fulfilled Books" tab up above.

The Mardel store in Colorado Springs is located at 5964 Barnes Road. That's just east of Powers. Turn east at the traffic light, then turn north into the shopping center. You'll see Mardel's big sign next to the Hobby Lobby.

I will be there from 10:00 - 4:00, later if we're busy. I think they're putting me in the book section which is located toward the back of the store, so when you come in look for the book area toward the back of the store and to your right.

Please stop by and see my exciting new book! Through it you can read through the Christmas story and take a look at 35 different prophecies. Then travel back in time to see who wrote the prophecy, when (including the date if possible), and in what context. Then travel forward in time to see how it was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus.

This book is not only great for your individual reading, but also makes a great study for groups or book clubs. Includes application questions with each chapter. It is easy enough for those who are new to Bible reading to learn a lot, but also has some little-known facts and in depth study to interest those who have read the Bible for years. It's a great resource with all the information. Makes a great gift.

I hope to see you there. Please come say hello and let me know you saw it on my blog! Or Twitter. Or Facebook. Or Linked In. Or just where you saw it!

Travel back in time to the prophecies of the first Christmas
and your future Christmases will never be the same.
