AMAZON RAVE REVIEWS:

5.0 out of 5 starsEvery year a special book comes out that captures the Holiday Spirit and becomes a year after year classic. Heart of the Holidays is such a book. We all need to be reminded of the true meaning of the Christmas Holiday and those warm, fuzzy feelings that made our hearts sing as children. Sheryl Roush has captured those feelings in her Heart Series and gift wrapped them for us all to share. Thank you Sheryl for giving such a joyful gift.
– Joni Wilson

5.0 out of 5 starsDuring the Holidays, one of our favorite traditions is to read stories out loud at night. This book is filled with lovely little gems to share after dinner or before bed. Excellent job of gathering healing stories.
– Judy H. Wright aka Auntie Artichoke, family relationship coach and author

5.0 out of 5 starsThis wonderful, one-of-a-kind book brims with all the magic and joy of the holiday season. The collection of cheerful sayings, warm memories of times gone by, and touching stories and poems make a lovely, festive package. You’ll delight in the tales of grace and revelation, and enjoy the good humor and faith throughout.
It’s the perfect gift for a sister, mom, or friend, or to show your appreciation for a busy hostess. And keep an extra copy for yourself so you can pack it away after reading it, and then next holiday season, unpack it to savor the same sparkle and warmth again!
– Suuzen Ty Anderson, RN, Esq.

5.0 out of 5 starsThere are times during the holidays when things aren’t as cheery and happy as we would like them to be. This book is a perfect companion during these times.
The stories and poems are uplifting, comforting and poignant. You can read a story or two at a time. There’s no pressure to “finish this book.” In fact, a book like this is never really finished. It’s something that will be sitting in easy reach for many seasons. I’m sure. We can all use some inspiration and comfort all through the year.
A great read any time of the year.
– Marilyn Dalrymple

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is an ideal gift for a friend or family member, or anyone who may need a little encouragement for the holidays. The stories and poems in Sheryl’s book are inspirational, positive and even a little humorous. It will make you want to believe in the Spirit of Christmas again.
– Patricia Bertrand

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is one of the best holiday books I have seen (even if I did contribute a few poems to it – LOL). It should warm every heart this Holiday Season, regardless of one’s faith or inclination. A wonderful holiday gift which will last for years … it will never go out of style … and can be shared with every generation. The editor/author, Sheryl Roush, has done a marvelous job in compiling everything in this book.
– Virgina “Ginny” Ellis, poet

5.0 out of 5 starsSheryl brings together the spirit of the holidays from many different sources into a collection that pours forth traditions, meanings and thoughts of the holiday season. I already know where the books I have purchased are going. This is a gift that will continue to give far into the future.
– Ruth Koepp


5.0 out of 5 starsI just ordered several of Sheryl’s new book. I have watched the gestation of this book, I have contributed to this book, and I recommend it highly because I know the gems it contains. If you are ready to have your heart opened, and then, to let it overflow with love, this is the book for you or the perfect gift to send to someone else just in time for the holidays. Let their hearts be opened, too. You just may have to change the sticker that says, “Do not open until Christmas” to now say, “Do not wait until Christmas.” Enjoy.
– Darlene Fahl-Brittian, The Tea Lady
