Christmas Stories of Hope and Healing

Christmas and Cedarville alumna Donna VanLiere are virtually synonymous. 

As a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, many of Donna's novels are set during the Christmas season. Six of her books have made the transition to television, including The Christmas Shoes and The Christmas Blessing. 

The ideas for Donna’s books are often deeply personal. She finds inspiration in life’s small moments, even in something as simple as an overheard comment from a passing stranger. Regardless of the source, Donna strives to tell stories that are filled with hope and healing.  

This time of year, is special for Donna and her husband, Troy, and their three children: Grace, Kate, and David. Christmas will always hold a special place in Donna’s life. 

As much as Donna loves Christmas and enjoys sharing the joy of Jesus’ first advent, she also seeks to remind her readers that there is more to the story. In her three latest books, The Time of Jacob’s Struggle, The Day of Ezekiel’s Hope, and Daniel’s Final Week, she examines the Bible’s teaching on Christ’s second coming.
