It’s so nice to welcome you to Jasmine’s Place – Issue No. 14!

Thank you for joining us on this journey. “For God so loved the world that He sent His only son…. ” Love is a strong theme at Christmas time. Without love, we wouldn’t have had Jesus.

And that is the reason we are focusing on love in this issue. In many ways, God wants us to be His bride.

We’re looking at love in fiction, in real life and God’s love. Four authors of romantic novels, Julie Arduini, Mary L Ball, Rhonda McKnight and Diane Dean White talk about how they craft their stories. Joanna Faillace shares some insights from her 30 year marriage in our spotlight on true life love. We also get two perspectives of God’s love from Aity Dennis, a prolific songwriter, and Dawn Trimble , a 40 year old wife and mother, who is reading her Bible for the first time.

Our community spotlights are on Prison Fellowship and WIF, who are both doing some great work meeting needs in communities.

There’s also a great Christmas recipe for you and some oh, so pretty decorations to pretty up your house this Christmas. Abi Bada gets us organised with a December To-Do List – and you’ll also find top-to-toe beautiful clothes and accessories for the season.

So, without further ado, take  a look at your Christmas issue below.

Have a great December ahead!
