Welcome to the December 2011 Dernier Publishing
newsletter!
All I want for Christmas is . . .
Well it's not something you can buy! At the hairdresser's yesterday the big topic of conversation was of course Christmas . . . we talked about which relatives we were going to see, how our shopping was going and how behind we were with preparations . . . I realised afterwards that I had missed a brilliant opportunity to talk about what Christmas means to me. I just wasn't thinking. If we really thought about what we wanted for Christmas, I wonder what we would do differently?
Encouragements!
We have heard through one of our authors that some of our books are being enjoyed in Denmark! How amazing is that! And here's some more encouraging feedback:
“I asked my daughter what she would like for Christmas and she said all she wanted was two Beech Bank Girls books as she has read the first and loves it. She is thirteen.” - Wendy (Essex)
“ I particularly love the children's books you sell because they are non-preachy, nor in-your-face, heavy reads. They are full of excitement, adventure, emotion and wonder, with a subtle message we can all benefit from.” - Elizabeth (Hants)
“74% of British Christians came to Christ by the time they were 19 – your work is so important.” - Dr Peter Brierley, former Executive Director of Christian Research
Books make the best presents!
Who could you buy a book for - friends' children, children's friends, nephews, nieces, neighbours, church children - why not take the opportunity of Christmas to sow some seeds and maybe touch a whole family? Maybe as a thank you gift? A book at £5.99 costs about the same as a tin of chocolates, but is soooo much healthier and soooo much better value! If you're not sure which one to choose, do email us (info@dernierpublishing.com), we would be glad to help you any way we can :-) If you can't get to your local Christian bookshop, you can look at and order books online www.dernierpublishing.com/youthf.php and read the first chapters of there too. As with the Christmas cards, we will send these to you first class between now and Christmas – last recommended posting date for UK is 20th December, but don't hesitate, order today!
Run out of cards, running late, need some help, don't panic!
Penguin cards: greeting inside reads:
May the joy of the Lord
be yours this Christmas!
Robin cards: greeting inside reads:
May the peace of the Lord
be yours this Christmas!
Need a last minute inspirational gift – but not a book?!
You could make savings of up to £18, so do take a look – we hope our posters will be a blessing to all the children (and the young at heart!) in your life. As with the books and Christmas cards, do email us as soon as possible with your order: info@dernierpublishing.com!
Prayer, the key
Please pray for all the children who will be reading our books this Christmas! However good the book is, it is the Lord who does the work of touching hearts. Thank you so much for standing with us. May you find peace and joy this Christmas, and know the joy of seeing others discover the wonder of the reason for the season :-) Warmest good wishes to you all,
Janet
