The year 1991 saw the end of the Cold War. The price of a postage stamp went from $0.25 to $0.29, and gas sold for $1.14 a gallon. It was also the year Christmas in My Heart first went to print, unnumbered, for no one imagined there would be a second book. Or a third. Now, this edition marks the 25th anniversary of the series with a total of 402 stories and more than 3,000 pages to date, it is the longest running Christmas story anthology series in America. Loved by thousands, the release of each additional book marks the beginning of the Christmas season in homes all across the country. Sit back and enjoy Christmas in My Heart 25!

Jimmy reached the hayloft. He was alone. Suddenly, like a gopher, he ducked down a burrow. He groped a moment, elbow-deep in the hay, and drew forth a leather-hinged box of light pine. It was closed with a clasp and a padlock whose key hung from a string round his neck. Inside were a .22 caliber revolver, two boxes of cartridges, a jackknife, a sort of brown canvas knapsack, and three dollars and eighty-eight cents. He picked up the revolver, raised the hammer and lowered it, took out the chamber, filled it with cartridges and then removed them; with an oily rag he polished it. He opened the knapsack slowly, lovingly and then a voice broke in on his preoccupation. Jim! O Jim! His father was calling from the orchard. Jim hesitated. If he stayed where he was, his father might think he was out of hearing, in the wood lot or perhaps in the far pasture. But the voice was coming nearer. Jim! O Jim! Suddenly it was within the barn itself, and cramming everything into the box again, Jim shouted, in a tone not too pleasant, All right! I m comin, and bolted down the ladder. What he wanted was freedom, freedom from all the orders and restraints, and he meant to have it. Throughout my adult lifetime, I ve been searching for stories having to do with pivotal moments or experiences in a person s life. What a joy to gather some of the most inspirational, powerful ones into one collection. The beauty of such stories is that we can learn from the mistakes of others rather than making them ourselves.

One of my most frequently asked questions is this one: After all these years, have you about run out of top stories to choose from? No, I haven t. When I first began, I had in my files around 50 Christmas stories I d collected over the years. After Christmas in my Heart, vol. 3 came along, we moved into a buying mode that has never let up since. Today, we have a much more daunting problem: we ve already archived several thousand candidates, and there are thousands more in our old books and magazines. Sometimes, a certain story is passed over year after year then here comes a year when God tells me: This is the year for this story! Cherished and Shared of Old has waited 26 long years!
