Dear Reader,

What sustains us during years of abundance is what sustains us during meager years – our daily bread. Some have said we are what we eat, and a growing movement for healthy, unadulterated food speaks to this idea. Fewer are the voices calling attention to the food our spirits and souls ingest each day through advertising and the media in general. How many toxins does a news show contain? What truly nourishes our souls and spirits? How can we be more conscious in deciding what to see, hear, and read each day?

Books are among the most lasting, precious gifts available today, not to mention the most affordable. In our Christmas Catalog we offer a selection of our program, including new titles as well as beloved classics. Please take a moment to peruse them. You can order from Independent Publishers Group (IPG) or visit your local bookstore where you can browse other books for everyone on your Christmas list. You could give someone the joy of discovery or even the power of transforming their lives – both are possible with books that make a difference.

All of us at The Crossroad Publishing Company wish you a blessed season of Advent and an abundantly joyful feast of Christmas.
