Double the pleasure #Two-story books #Money-savers

Remember the old Wrigley's Doublemint ad? "Double your pleasure. Double your fun."

Two-story books can double your pleasure, fun, and save you money. If you have books too short for stand-alone titles, consider combining. Two of my most recent titles do this and are earning great reviews.


The "Remembrance" Book: Two Heart-warming Family Stories by [Colleen L. Reece]  The Book of Remembrance: Two Heart-warming Family Stories for readers of all ages

Laura Ingalls Wilder, beloved author of the Little House books, said, “If I had a remembrance book, I'd write about . . . Pa and Mr. Hanson and how they walked and looked and talked and how we wondered what they said.”

Join Carol (Colleen) and her family on a 3500- mile Vagabond Summer driving trip. Encounter car trouble, a bear, two parades, a prairie dog town, lions roaring in the night, and much more.
 

Wishbooks and Promises brighten the family’s lives, along with their wonderful lamp, a mysterious friend for Carol, an uncle’s desperate prayer, and Carol’s daring plan to get a bicycle when her parents cannot afford to buy her one..

Chapters shows God’s loving care and can be used for bed-time reading or as part of family devotions.


Lamplight to Limelight: Journey of Joy

The new paperback edition of Lamplight to Limelight: Journey of Joy (Kindle single) includes a bonus book. 

A small girl’s vow: “Someday I am going to write a book.” A seemingly impossible dream. A town that grows trees, not authors. A determined child.

A 17-year-old’s decision: “I am going to write a book this summer.” A turning point. Typing by kerosene lamplight.

A 40-year-old’s decision: “I am going to start a book now.” A heart-breaking beginning. A lesson learned. A window opens.

An 84-year-old woman’s promise: “I shall continue writing books.”


Join logger’s daughter Colleen L. Reece (165+ books, six million copies sold) as she relives her often rocky road to “someday.” Decades of laughter and tears, heartache and rejoicing, sustained by faith and the assurance she was called to write.


Bonus Book.  Countdown to Christmas: Making Holidays Meaningful

Luke 2:16 tells us that after the angels announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds in the field, the shepherds “came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.” Their gift was joyful adoration that the long-awaited Messiah had come. They worshiped Jesus, then went forth to spread the good tidings. Our greatest gift is to welcome Jesus into our hearts and homes every day of the year.

Award-winning authors Colleen L. Reece and Julie Reece-DeMarco present heart-warming stories and suggestions for activities designed to bring families closer to our Lord and one another while preparing for Christmas during Advent.
