It's that time of year, isn't it? That time when "wish lists" are written, and so many people wonder where they will find the money to meet all the costs of gifts, food, party clothes, Christmas pyjamas – you know, all the essentials. With all the darkness and suffering in our world today, it so easy to get swallowed up in that darkness. So, I encourage us to Stop! Breath! Reflect! Christmas is the time to wonder at the amazing, completely free and unearned gift of life in all its fullness through Christ and His unfailing kindness towards us. As you pause and recalibrate, the Library is offering you another free – but priceless – gift: the gift of losing yourself in a great story, of soaking up new knowledge, of taking time to delve deeper in Gods Word. Like the Wise Men, let us seek Him and we will find Him this Christmas, nearer than we ever imagined!
