It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! We are a group of reviewers who tour Christian books. A Wild Card post includes a brief bio of the author and a full chapter from each book toured. The reason it is called a FIRST Wild Card Tour is that you never know if the book will be fiction, non~fiction, for young, or for old...or for somewhere in between! Enjoy your free peek into the book!

You never know when I might play a wild card on you!

AND NOW...THE FIRST CHAPTER:




My Review:  Really the above is true!  I had so much fun when I first received this book, and I'm sure my family is greatful (and they're stuffed!) for all the new recipes that were brought into our home! 

I made the Cider that is in the preview chapter, as well as the gingerbread and the snack mix.  There is also a hot cocoa mix to make that would be great for gifting.

If you enjoy collecting Christmas books, this would be a super one to add to your collection.
