Book Cover & Preview Text
"We often get off base and distracted with Christmas gift giving. Was that all just a marketing ploy by stores in the first century? I don't think so! The wise men came bearing gifts for this precious babe in a manger because they were, indeed, wise. They BELIEVED the angel the angel saying that God was in that little baby lying there and they were filled with JOY, wanting to give Him every good and perfect gift. Do we approach that manger every year with that same incredible awe and belief?"

About the Book
“Barbara has used her amazing ability to apply the living word of The Bible to everyday life through her writing and preaching in this book.”
—Rev. Dr. Blake R. Heffner
Rejoice in the spiritual blessings of God!
“…I was silenced, in shock, as we descended those stairs; my pastor quietly quoted our Lord Jesus, ‘Whatever you did for one of the least of these …you do for me” (Matt. 25:40). I stopped in my tracks—looked back up at that apartment—I saw Jesus sitting next to Phoebe with His arm around her. That day changed my life! That verse from our Lord is at the core of who I am today and what I have believed every day for the past thirty-five years as a Christian; so shall it always be. Jesus has been right by my side, giving me His words. How blessed we are to have living words from Him!”
This faith discussion is a collection of reflections, sermons and meditations we will share as we journey together exploring the spiritual blessings of our faith.
About the Author
Barbara Duncan, a licensed pastor and retired high school English teacher, has been researching, studying, and preaching on the foundations of Christian faith for over ten years.
Precious Pearls of Faith, her second published work, was born out of her desire to share this quest for understanding of faith and His living Word with others who share her thirst for growing in the faith and bathing in the peace of the Lord. In short, Barbara loves to write about the love of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Having moved from Connecticut to Pennsylvania with her husband of forty-four years, Barbara enjoys her time with her two grown, married children and grandchildren, her active life of writing, cooking, and quilting, as well as serving as a pastor in her local church.
