A Taste of Hot Apple Cider
Stories to Encourage and Inspire
15 Canadian writers share encouraging, hope-filled stories from their hearts.
The book includes Discussion Questions for individuals, book clubs or small groups.
From Grace's foreword:
"The contributors... remind readers that the struggles we face are common to everyone. Their honest descriptions of wrestling with cancer, caring for and losing aging parents, dealing with a spouse’s dementia, moving beyond one’s fear to tell neighbours about Jesus, and more, show us that hope is very much alive.”
Pull up a nice, warm, cozy chair and enjoy some hot apple cider with us.
Move in closer. That’s it. We’ll all share our stories together, like a group of close friends. Stories of heartbreak and redemption—trouble and overcoming—questioning our faith and embracing it—and, most of all, finding hope at the end of every path.
There’s just nothing like a circle of warm friends to share life with. All 15 of us will take turns opening up our hearts to you—sharing little pieces of ourselves. Come and join us.
We’ll even include discussion questions so you can reflect on our stories or explore the themes with a group.
Some of the stories:
- Scenes of a child at play highlight the contrasts in parents' attitudes.
- A late-night accident at a local gym becomes a God-moment.
- An older couple responds to a young woman's distress on a lonely country road.
- A final walk with ailing father leads a woman to a place of grace.
- A missionary makes a dramatic trip to get back home in time for a funeral
- A daughter reacts to her elderly widowed father's need for romance
"Read and wonder at the strength of faith and positivity in the light of both challenges and beautiful life events. These have all been well written and a pure joy to read. Each short story has a life lesson and each lesson is as satisfying as a hot apple cider on a cold winter's day. They give you warmth. "
Our cover got a gold star from Joel Friedlander (The Book Designer)!

Unexpected Bonus!
Some time after Grace Fox wrote her foreword to A Taste of Hot Apple Cider, she asked if we'd be interested in partnering with her so that women who attended the RADIANT Women's Conferences she leads could be given free copies of this book. Naturally, we said yes!
