🎄 THIS CHRISTMAS, GIVE A GIFT THAT MAY CHANGE A LIFE

Books Make Wonderful Christmas Gifts—and These Books Have a Purpose

Christmas will be here before we know it.

Soon we'll be making lists.

Shopping online.

Walking through stores.

Wrapping presents.

Mailing packages.

And asking that familiar question:

“What do I get someone who already has everything?”

Here's an idea.

Give them a book.

Not something that will be used for a few days and forgotten.

Not another gadget destined for a drawer.

Not something purchased simply because we felt obligated to put another package beneath the Christmas tree.

Give someone something they can read, underline, revisit, share, learn from, pray over, and perhaps remember for years to come.

This Christmas, we invite you to visit the Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International Bookstore and consider giving a book—or several books—as Christmas gifts to the people you love.

THERE'S A BOOK FOR SOMEBODY ON YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST

One of the wonderful things about giving books is that you can match the message to the person.

Do you know someone struggling with prayer?

Someone searching for encouragement?

Someone facing a difficult decision?

Someone interested in history, Israel, the Middle East, or biblical prophecy?

Someone who needs hope?

Someone struggling emotionally?

Someone interested in understanding human trafficking?

Someone who needs practical Christian guidance for everyday life?

Someone simply trying to grow closer to God?

There may be a book waiting for them.

🎁 FOR THE PERSON WHO NEEDS HOPE

You're Hurting. I Understand. But Suicide Is Not the Answer

Hope, Healing, and the God Who Never Stopped Loving You

Some Christmas gifts are enjoyable.

Others can become deeply personal.

This book was written for hurting people—for those struggling with despair, loneliness, trauma, grief, failure, and the feeling that tomorrow may no longer be worth facing.

It can also be a meaningful resource for parents, pastors, ministry leaders, veterans, friends, and anyone wanting to better understand and encourage someone who is hurting.

Imagine giving someone a Christmas present that quietly says:

“Your life matters to me.”

🎁 FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT

Words of Encouragement — 4th Edition

Life can wear people down.

Sometimes we don't know what someone is carrying behind the smile they show everyone else.

A book of encouragement can sit beside someone's bed, travel in a bag, rest on a desk, or be opened on a difficult morning when a person needs a reminder that God has not forgotten them.

Sometimes the smallest gift arrives at exactly the right moment.

🎁 FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT

What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do — 2nd Edition

We've all been there.

A crossroads.

A difficult decision.

An unanswered prayer.

A closed door.

A confusing season.

A moment when all we can say is:

“Lord, what do I do now?”

This could be an especially meaningful Christmas gift for someone entering a new chapter of life.

🎁 FOR THE PERSON STRUGGLING WITH PRAYER

When Prayer Seems So Difficult—Pray Anyway

There are times when prayer flows naturally.

And there are times when even finding the words becomes difficult.

This book was written for those moments.

For the person who wonders whether God is listening.

For the person who has prayed repeatedly and hasn't seen the answer.

For the person who wants to pray but doesn't know where to begin.

Sometimes the greatest encouragement we can give someone is simply:

Don't stop praying.

🎁 FOR THE HISTORY AND BIBLE STUDENT

The United States, Israel, the Middle East and History

For readers interested in history, America, Israel, the Middle East, biblical prophecy, and how these subjects intersect, this substantial volume can make an excellent Christmas gift.

It isn't designed merely to sit on a bookshelf.

It was written to be read, studied, considered, and returned to.

🎁 FOR SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT HUMAN FREEDOM

Human Trafficking Exposed

Human trafficking is not simply an issue occurring somewhere else.

Behind every statistic is a person.

This book examines the reality of trafficking, the deception surrounding it, the victims affected by it, and the need for awareness and action.

For someone concerned about vulnerable children, families, communities, justice, or ministry outreach, this can be a meaningful gift with a serious purpose.

🎁 AND THERE'S MUCH MORE

These are only a few examples.

Over the years, I have written books dealing with faith, prayer, Christian living, encouragement, family, difficult life questions, history, social issues, spiritual growth, and the challenges ordinary people face every day.

Some are serious.

Some are devotional.

Some teach.

Some challenge.

Some encourage.

But each was written with a purpose:

TO HELP SOMEBODY.

And that's what makes a book such a wonderful Christmas gift.

📚 GIVE ONE. GIVE TWO. BUILD A CHRISTMAS BOOK BOX.

Here's another idea.

Instead of giving someone only one book, create a small Christmas Reading Box.

Choose two or three titles.

Add a Bible.

Include a notebook and pen.

Maybe add a bookmark.

Write a personal note inside:

“I chose these especially for you. Merry Christmas.”

Now you haven't simply given someone merchandise.

You've given them an experience.

You've given them something personal.

And perhaps you've given them resources that will strengthen their faith throughout the coming year.

🎄 DON'T FORGET THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE OTHERS

Books can also make thoughtful gifts for:

Pastors and ministry leaders.

Missionaries.

Sunday school teachers.

Veterans.

Military members.

College students.

Young adults.

Parents and grandparents.

Counselors.

Church libraries.

Prison ministries.

Shelters and outreach organizations.

And sometimes the best Christmas present isn't the book you keep.

It's the book you give away.

YOUR CHRISTMAS PURCHASE DOES SOMETHING ELSE

When you purchase books through our bookstore, you're doing more than adding another present beneath someone's Christmas tree.

100% OF OUR BOOK ROYALTIES SUPPORT OUR MISSIONARY AND OUTREACH EFFORTS.

That means your purchase has the potential to travel twice.

First, the book travels to the person receiving your gift.

Then the royalties help support ministry and missionary work reaching people elsewhere.

One purchase. Two opportunities to touch lives.

That's a Christmas gift with purpose.

🎄 CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT THE GREATEST GIFT

Ultimately, Christmas reminds us of a Gift no store could sell and no amount of money could purchase.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son...” — John 3:16

God gave.

And because He gave, we have hope.

We have forgiveness.

We have salvation.

We have eternal life through Jesus Christ.

So as you give gifts this Christmas, perhaps you can give something that points someone toward hope, truth, encouragement, wisdom—and ultimately toward Christ.

BEFORE YOU BUY ANOTHER “THING”...

Ask yourself:

Could I give someone something that might actually help them?

Something they'll remember.

Something they'll underline.

Something they'll pass along.

Something that might answer a question.

Something that might restore hope.

Something that might strengthen their faith.

Something that might even change the direction of their life.

This Christmas—

📖 GIVE SOMETHING THEY CAN OPEN MORE THAN ONCE.

🎁 GIVE A BOOK.

❤️ GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT.

✝️ GIVE SOMETHING WITH PURPOSE.

And while you're doing it—

HELP US HELP THEM—ONE SOUL AT A TIME.
