Tyndale House Publishers gave me the opportunity to review this complimentary copy of Mathew West's 101 Simple & Thoughtful Ways to Give This Christmas Away. Every year, people get caught up in the commercial sensationalim of Christmas and forget the true meaning of it. It's sometimes understandable as the reason for Christmas is wanting to be dismissed yet the opportunity to take off days is still wanted. Instead of worrying about rushing around and getting something for that special person, take a break, pick up this small but impactful book and enjoy! This book, as the title states, provides you 101 ways to do something special, something unselfish and something that will bring a new meaning to giving. Little things such as holding the door, buying a cup of coffee for the person behind you or reconnecting with old friends or loved ones will bring you joy ... priceless joy. What I like about Mr. West's suggestions for doing something that is impactful in different ways are his abilities to add personal experiences with each story suggestion as well as the inclusion of a verse from the Bible. Mr. West is a recording artist and an accomplished songwrite who has released three albums since 2002. This is an extraordinary book by an extraordinary man and a must have for anyone. The other bonus to this wonderful book is the size. It can easily be a stocking stuffer and wrapped up with many possible options to make it the most memorable gift for that special someone.

What a great way to embrace the Season of Christmas! Give This Christmas Away is a fantastic little book showing how to be a true giver at Christmas-time, written by Christian music artist Matthew West. It is filled with 101 ideas of how to give in meaningful, yet simple and inexpensive, ways to others and keep the true Spirit of Christmas, which is Christ, alive in our hearts and in our thoughts. There are 101 corresponding Scriptures to go with each idea. This little book is a powerful resource for individuals and families to have and use during the Christmas Season and all throughout the year. It will motivate and inspire children and adults alike! This book was provided to me for review by Tyndale House Publishers.

"Give This Christmas Away" by Matthew West is a must-read for anyone who is looking for different ways to give this Christmas. West gives the reader 101 ideas to touch a person's life and to help make this Christmas one that you won't forget! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Tyndale House Publishers, and was excited to read it to see how my family and I could give to those around us. A lot of the ideas in the book are things that the whole family can be involved in. I am looking forward to teaching my kids how to give from their heart. I want them to see that a gift doesn't necessarily have to be something that you buy, but it's the thought behind the gift that can make a difference. From shoveling a driveway to restoring broken friendships, West inspires readers to give from their heart the way the Lord would want us to give. The ideas that are given aren't just ways to give at Christmastime. Many of the things can be done for someone throughout the year. Read the book and see how the Lord can use you to make a difference in someone else's life this Christmas and the whole year through.

Each of the short 101 segments packs a powerful, enlightening punch! It mixes personal accounts of daily life, along with scripture and at the end of each daily read there is an uplifting message. I highly recommend this hardcover book for yourself, and also to "GIVE AWAY" as a thoughtful gift! You can check out the complete review here..[...]
