by Lenora Worth, author of The X-Mas Club
I’m so happy to be here with you today. The X-Mas Club was a different kind of book for me, but one I wanted to write. Tule Publishing gave me the opportunity to do that! But it was also a hard book to write. A hot mess, some would say! I had a lot of help getting it into shape, so I hope you’ll enjoy it.
A few people have asked me about the title. Why did I leave Christ out of Christmas? The title was on purpose because my heroine had lost her Christmas Spirit. She was bitter and reclusive and she’d shut down her pain. I’ve been there. I knew her pain, and I knew her bitterness. Grief can eat away at you and take over before you see it coming. At Christmas, we sometimes try to shove that grief in a corner and put a bow on it to hide it. No one wants it during this special time of year. But Veronica Cearley had to let go of her grief in order to find Christmas again in a very mysterious but special way.
I pray this book will encourage people and help anyone who has been going through some sort of grief, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the loss of a friend, or the sadness of life taking over. Veronica found the Christ in Christmas again. I hope we can all remember that and rejoice.

This book sounds really good.
Lenora Worth writes memorable stories, ones I recall years and years later. I am very interested in Veronica’s story.
THE X-MAS CLUB by Lenora Worth sounds like a unique and interesting tale that I would like to read.
We all lose people, and the holidays are often the hardest because of memories.
Sometimes we just need to be reminded that good things are still around and in the future
– if we choose to.
I love Lenora’s books and there’s always an interesting “faith challenge” somewhere.
Sounds good.
I just like the sound of the story.
looks interesting
This sounds like such a positive story especially since so many people have lost family members during the past couple of years.
yes – i have over FIFTY friends that have lost a parent this year. Some have lost both. I lost my dad a year ago and my father-in-law a week ago. So many people grieving this year…
