ACE COLLINS
FREE FALL INTO LITERATURE
From a poem written by a French wine commissionaire, to an Austrian priest’s hurried collaboration using one of his own poems, to the works of the esteemed English hymn writer Charles Wesley, the best-loved Christmas carols we sing every year have a rich history in their creation. And no one knows about them better than author Ace Collins. Adapted from his well-known book Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas, this keepsake gift book tells the story of eight favorite carols and includes a beautiful ornament with each one, which can be reused and enjoyed as a family tradition for many years.
This board book features:
Eight die-cut pop-out ornaments corresponding to eight of the most-loved Christmas hymns, including “O Holy Night,” “The First Noel,” and “Silent Night”
A brief history of each hymn telling the story of its origins
A Scripture verse corresponding to the hymn
Lyrics to each Christmas carol
The great songs of Christmas contain messages of peace, hope, and truth. Each in its own way expresses a facet of God’s heart and celebrates the birth of His greatest gift to the world—Jesus, the most wonderful Christmas Song of all.
DOC HOLIDAY
AT YOUR SERVICE
For two decades Ace has been recognized as the “go to” source for all things Christmas. Each year, between Thanksgiving and December 25th, Ace is in such demand for print, radio, and television interviews and appearances with orchestras and choirs that he’s often called "Doc Holiday."
Reading his books has become a Christmas tradition for thousands!
In the other 11 months of the year, he focuses on his passion projects, mainly mystery book writings. His 21-novel series, In the President's Service, covers the fictional life of a strong, independent female detective who solves many mysteries during WWII to aid the troops.
