Book Synopsis
He’s exactly her type … unfortunately.
Rosalynd Cawthorn moved away to escape the shame of who she once was. She’s determined not to fall back into old habits, but her new job at the Cheery Inn brings her face-to-face with the last thing she needs: temptation.
Zackery Baker has left his womanizing days behind him. Sidelined with a shoulder injury, the NFL player is spending December at the Cheery Inn with his son. Intrigued by the new manager, he suddenly has two things on his Christmas list.
Rosalynd knows better than to fall for a man like Zack, and she’s determined to keep her distance. Zack, however, is just as determined to win her over. But when a new guy enters the game, Zack may find her heart’s been intercepted.
Note: Come, All Ye Faithful is a sequel to It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.

Book Thoughts
If you've enjoyed earlier Christmas in Garland stories, this is the redemption story you didn't know you were waiting for. Zachery Baker, a football player who made a previous appearance in It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, is back with his own story and it's every bit as powerful as the other books in this series. Highlighting his new faith in Christ, Zack is learning what it means to become a man of God, and we are invited into his heartfelt journey from past sins toward sanctification. It's not a smooth path for him as he navigates the natural consequences of his prior selfishness and rebellion, so seeing him grasp the concept of grace is immensely moving.
It's this contrast that sets the stage for how Rosalynd perceives her faith and how she is grappling with similar issues in her life. I love that this book isn't afraid to tackle prevalent beliefs in the church that border on or are outright false teachings. Zack and Rosalynd show us the vital importance of spiritual discernment and the implications it can have on our walks with God. The author doesn't shy away from calling these teachings out, and I love the subtlety involved in communicating truth. Readers looking for a sweet Christmas romance that always delivers more in terms of touching both the heart and the mind will enjoy what it means to made new in Christ in Come, All Ye Faithful.
