KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- Abunga.com, the family-friendly online bookstore, continues its weekly "Authors at Abunga" chats in December with award-winning authors offering a Christian perspective on Godly parenting and strong marriages and engaging stories with themes of love and redemption. The one-hour chats, held at 2 p.m. EST on the first three Wednesdays next month at Abunga.com, will feature family and parenting writer Tricia Goyer, New York Times best-selling novelist Beverly Lewis and Christian fiction author Robin Jones Gunn, respectively.
"These writers have touched the hearts of many readers with their words," said Abunga.com Chairman Lee Martin. "Abunga.com is thrilled to offer the opportunity for readers to connect with them on a personal level and receive a bit of inspiration during this hectic Christmas season."
Tricia Goyer, a wife, mother and "Generation Xer," is the author of "Generation NeXt Parenting: A Savvy Parent's Guide to Getting it Right," a book for parents who are constantly trying to meet their children's needs but are becoming tired and losing focus. Goyer gives practical tips on how to lay a firm foundation while raising up the next generation. Knowing that marriages today also face challenges that no other generation has experienced, she wrote "Generation NeXt Marriage: The Couple's Guide to Keeping it Together," in which she offers insightful truths for Generation X marriages and those who minister to them. She also talks about marriage role models, and what "Gen X" is doing right. She will chat about both "Generation NeXt" books on Dec. 3. For more information, visit www.abunga.com/featuredauthorgoyer.
The New York Times best-selling novelist Beverly Lewis is the author of the highly-anticipated "The Longing," the final book in the popular "Courtship of Nellie Fisher" series. Raised in Pennsylvania Amish country, Lewis based the series on actual historical events. The heroine, passionate and stubborn Nellie Mae Fisher, has broken up with her beau Caleb Yoder, choosing instead to follow the ways of the Amish New Order. Yet she still yearns for a husband, and new possibilities arise, taking her by surprise. But when a tragic accident binds Caleb to the father who had once opposed his affection for Nellie, Caleb discovers he cannot forget the only girl he has ever loved. Lewis, who has written over 80 books for children and youth, will be on the Abunga.com chat on Dec. 10. Visit www.abunga.com/featuredauthorlewis for more information.
Robin Jones Gunn's book "Engaging Father Christmas: A Novella," is the follow-up to "Finding Father Christmas" and tells a story about love, redemption and finding home. Miranda Carson can't wait to return to England for Christmas and to be with her boyfriend, Ian, in whom she has high hopes for a proposal. But things begin to fall apart when Ian's father is hospitalized and the matriarch of the Whitcombe family withholds her blessing from Miranda. Then, just when her true identity threatens all her relationships in unanticipated ways, she is certain all is lost but soon finds that Father Christmas has good things in store for her after all. Gunn, a best-selling author of 60 books including the popular "Christy Miller" series, will join the Abunga chat on Dec. 17. For more information, visit www.abunga.com/featuredauthorgunn.
