Every December, our family has a tradition of praying and discussing which Bible verse will be our family verse for the coming year. Then we post it in my office on the whiteboard, on three-by-five cards for the three of us to carry, and then on the kitchen's ceramic pedestal, which sits on top of the counter.
Back in December of 2014, I suggested for us to do a challenge for the coming year: to pick one thing that would be considered hard and work on it starting in January. As I thought of my challenge, I started to receive a barrage of emails on how to write a book, book publishing, book writing, and how to succeed as an author.
God, are you telling me to write a book?
I have always loved reading and can remember reading several books all within a weekend when I was single. So this idea of writing a book was indeed challenging, and immediately, I became full of fear and feelings of insecurity, which meant I was to write a book. It was a hard thing to do. What would I write about? The only thing I could think of were two things: (1) how God was always working in my life for my good and showing His great love for me with my mistakes, missteps, and misunderstandings; and (2) how I always wanted to do something that I considered significant, that my time here on earth would be marked by doing something big for God and my family:
To have the courage to live fully without being ruled by the bullies I call self-doubt, fear, shame, and insecurity, those bullies who want to keep you small and living in a box. I do not want to live my life in a box or even keep God in a box.
To allow Jesus's words to resonate that He came that I may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).
To live what could be possible for me in faith.
This challenge was a real fight, a real fight to feel worthy, a fight to know that I can make a difference in someone else's life, to give myself and them hope.
This book is for my husband and son, my loves, whom God blessed me with, and a reminder that God wants me to live courageously even when scared, to do it afraid, to trust Him with everything, and to know I am a woman with worth. My prayer is that this book will bring enlightenment to the reader whom I believe is only found in God, His Son, Jesus, and His Spirit. If only one person finds within these pages (His) Truth for their life and will pursue their life with purpose, vigor, dedication, joy, and peace and honoring Him who gave them life.
To the brave souls on their life's journey, May God bless you richly.

Danny Haag takes the readers through a chronological order of the full Christmas story. By full, his goal was to use the verses that kept the main part of the Christmas story flowing, excluding some verses that would have added much length but not much more context.
It starts with the angel telling Elizabeth and Zacharias that even though she has been barren, at their very old age, they would have a child. This is important since Mary (soon-to-be Jesus's mother) would come to visit Elizabeth to tell her of Mary's great news. He finishes with the last chapter, which is the most important part of the Christmas story.
He takes you through the Christmas story using the King James Version (KIV). Danny also provided some commentary, for convenience, after each verse.
In his study of the Bible, there usually is much to learn from knowing more about the context of that verse. For example, how serious and dangerous was it that Mary was betrothed (pledged) to Joseph and was going to have a baby that wasn't from Joseph? Who were the wise men (magi), and why did King Herod bring them in a meeting with the chief priests and scribes who didn't like each other? Was Jesus still a baby when the wise men visited Him? Why were sheep (which are animals) referred to as a flock?
Scripture's truths are like nuggets of gold in a reserve. To be its best, gold must be mined, refined, and designed as bullion, coins, jewelry, and the like. To get the best from the truths
of Scripture, they too must be mined, refined, and designed: Mined by applying them to real situations in life, refined by identifying which precepts are greater than our cultural practices, and designed for us as family members, neighbors, and members of society as we forge the relationship we can enjoy with God. Reading and applying God's Word for even a few minutes each day helps us to be more aware of His love for us and to live as His beloved creation. Never met God? Committed Christ-follower? Somewhere in between? Mining the Gold is for you!

Meeting Jesus, Common People, Uncommon Stories is the result of a pastoralexperience linked with cultural Biblical knowledge. The book was really written for one person, thus it is a very personal endeavor. Maggie LIechty was an elderly woman who was housebound because of health issues. Regular pastoral visits grew to include serious faith conversations about Biblical persons whose lives were changed by their encounter with Jesus. Maggie was not about to accept simple, easy answers. These were real people struggling with real issues that complicated their lives. Maggie felt with them because of her own situation and she wanted to know more these persons and what their life was like before meeting Jesus. She felt that these persons were important and they deserved more than the brief encounter recorded in scripture. For her, they were persons struggling with a life that was not of their own doing.
These persons became the focus of our weekly pastoral visits as Maggie regularly identified with these persons, and celebrated their new life with her own limited social contacts. She regularly insisted on seeing Jesus as a very sensitive, caring person who empathized with the Biblical persons. She constantly noted how Jesus accepted persons and dignified them by stopping to talk with them and rather than pass them by as many people did with her. She saw Jesus injecting hope into a situation where despair was more likely.
In the process of these visits I discovered a more human compassionate Jesus whose presence impacted people in very positive ways. Maggie often insisted that the church should offering the same contact, the same belief that these persons had value, and that their healing often happened because of the acceptance of the faith community.. She believed that healing happens within the faith community even when the literal physical situation remains the same. Jesus worked at community acceptance and the social inclusion that changed how persons were seen and how a special kind of healing made life so much better for these persons.
In the process of these sharing these stories, Maggie helped me to discover places where healing was thwarted because the faith community refused to see them as whole persons using their physical condition as a reason to exclude them from full participation in the faith community.
In the process of sharing with Maggie and writing these stories I began to see Jesus and the meaning of Christian Faith differently. I discovered a more compassionate Jesus wose simple presence spoke to the situation of each individual giving them dignity and hope. By her simple, yet very profound experience of God's presence in Jesus, I began to also see persons today with new empathy and healing acceptance.
I would also be honest in acknowledging that this new acceptance and open inclusion my own church situation was not always met with
positive affirmation. Today just as in Jesus's own day challenging the established social mores of the spiritual community is not always greeted
with positive enthusiasm.. It is my prayer that these very personal, human stories of people meeting
Jesus will be a source of inspiration and healing in our own experience.
The stories of Jacob and Joseph resonate with intrigue, adventure, doubts, challenges, and finally culminate in unbelievable wealth and power.
Jacob flees north to Haran from his brother's wrath with nothing but a few camels and donkeys. Twenty years later he returns to Canaan, accompanied by his family of twelve sons and one daughter a very wealthy man.
Joseph, plagued by his dreams and the rejection of his brothers, endures slavery, prison and forgotten promises, and ends up chief in the land of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh.
Follow the stories of these two amazing characters, both misunderstood and underestimated, but through the blessings of their God, Adonai, each achieving immeasurable heights of success and fame and the love and adoration of a devoted family.
