New Book Tackles the Stress Caused by Holiday Hubbub

Reminds readers how God's Word adds peace to joyous occasions

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 17, 2008 -- Stress at holidays and other annual celebrations often dims the pleasure and meaning of the occasions. Miriam Hain Adams' new release, Meditations for Celebrations: Quiet Moments Amid Festivity (paperback, 978-1-60477-725-3; hardcover, 978-1-60477-726-0), offers twenty-eight chapters of Scripture-based reflections to calm the reader's mind and body and nourish their spirit by reminding them of the true meaning of holidays and other commemorative occasions. The book provides resources to help readers share with others at celebration events. Christian workers, teachers, speakers, home-schoolers, and anyone seeking devotional material will find Meditations for Celebrations a worthwhile read.

Says Adams, "I hope readers will be reminded how God's Word adds meaning and peace to the sometimes hectic annual celebration events so that all these joyous times will be enhanced and steadied by God's grace and love. I believe this book fills a need by reminding readers, stressed by holiday hubbub, that God's word adds significance and peace to each occasion."

No stranger to the stress caused by holiday hubbub, Adams has been deeply committed to sharing God's Word in ways that would help others apply it to their everyday lives. Her experience as a wife, mother, and grandmother gives credibility to various chapters in her book which relate to family and everyday living. And, states the lifelong Bible student, "Audiences from New England to the Carolinas and beyond have affirmed (my) ability to apply God's Word to everyday life and stir others toward a deeper relationship with Christ."
