In this (newly revised and improved in 2016) 2nd edition of his popular Christmas devotional book, Derek Maul updates, reformats, adds some new content, and generally refreshes his timeless collection of Advent stories. What's a tree doing in my living room? Why is it dressed in a kind of horticultural drag? Have you ever found yourself reclining in your favorite chair on a cold December evening, a cup of coffee poised on your lap, staring at the Christmas tree in the corner and wondering that very thing? Whether you're an observant Christian who loves the meaning and celebration of the season or a burned-out one, In My Heart I Carry A Star is a devotional-story almanac to understand and appreciate the possibilities Christmas offers. No matter where you are spiritually, Christ desires to bless you with an Advent journey overflowing with expectation and peace and life and hope and love. "This is my prayer," writes Maul, "that in the midst of all the wonder, and the bustle, and the peace, and the constant performance art that is December, the Jesus who makes my life necessarily uncomfortable at times will work God's inexorable way out of the margins and into the heart of Christmas Present for each of us." Derek Maul is a great storyteller. Along with a knack for commenting on life with wit and humor, he recognizes God's grace in the midst of it all. The stories within this book reveal the light to be found in the season's swirl of festivities, stresses, memories and difficult realities.

"There's always something more to be said," Maul writes; "there's always something more to look forward to; there's always something more to experience. This is why life is so powerfully dynamic, and why the best relationships are - so beautifully - persistent, insistent, intentional works in progress. We have stories to live, you and I, and we have great exploits to unwrap; sometimes one careful layer at a time, and sometimes plunging over the precipice on a wing and a prayer...."

Author/Journalist Derek Maul invites Christian men of all denominations to set aside their assumptions, their presumptions, and their preconceptions, to become better acquainted with God's Word, to get to know the character of Jesus, and to enter into a conversation about what it means to live as beings created in the image of God. "In God's Image" is a ready-to-use 8-week study, designed to pose the following question: "Are you motivated, confident, hesitant, skeptical, convicted, or simply curious? Regardless, we all need to share in this exchange of ideas about faith, and consider our decision to follow Jesus." The study includes inspirational readings, challenging study questions, an easy to follow small-group outline, and a challenge to engage our calling to live as passionate followers of Jesus, as well as to seek the fellowship of other men who are motivated to live beyond the cultural stereotypes that confine our walk and stifle our witness.
