ONE MORE Surprise

Don t you just love surprises?

No Christmas would be complete without the beautifully-packaged gifts that you just can t wait to unwrap. Is it going to be a box of delicious chocolates? The gadget you ve always wanted? Or better still, something handmade from someone dear to you? But there s one more Christmas surprise. It s a gift that many people

miss or forget. But we believe that this present will really surprise you. It s meant just for you, and it s from someone who knows exactly what you need. Before you decide that it s too good to be true, why not take a look? Let s open this special gift together and find out a bit more. This gift has some very special qualities...

It s what you really need. This gift offers to meet your deepest, innermost needs, such as companionship, hope, comfort, assurance, and peace. Because the giver knows your heart well, he knows exactly what you yearn for.

It gives you hope. Weighed down by financial worries, stress, or illness? Feeling lost and confused? This gift offers you hope. It will be a comfort to you when you are feeling down and an assurance that you are not alone in your difficult journey.

It gives you a fresh start. Do you regret past mistakes and wish you could start anew? Are you longing to hear, You are forgiven, you can move on? This gift offers just that a chance to live a new life of integrity and purpose.

It gives you true satisfaction. Have you accomplished and accumulated much, but still feel that something s missing in your life? This gift offers you true satisfaction, deep contentment, and a new sense of purpose in life.

It comes from someone special. What makes this gift really special is that it comes from someone who knows you better and loves you deeper than anyone. The giver has your best interests at heart, and wants only the best for you.

Just For You

If this gift sounds too good to be true, let us assure you: it really does exist! In fact, you don t even have to wait till Christmas you can open it anytime.

Curious? Read on and see for yourself!

This gift is really a person a very special person. It s the one who gave Christmas its name and true meaning: Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus came to show us the way to God the One who created the universe, the world, and all of us. Through him, we will come to know our Creator and experience the wonderful blessings He offers us fulfilment of our deepest needs; enduring hope in desperate times; forgiveness of our sins and a fresh opportunity to live a life of integrity; true satisfaction, meaning and direction in life; priceless joy and peace; and deep, unconditional love.

Jesus says, My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life (John 10:10). Is this what you are looking for? The good news is that it s right there, waiting for you.

You can just tell God, the Creator: Yes, I accept this gift of your Son, Jesus. Or perhaps you re not too sure about saying yes just yet, and want to think about it a little more. That s okay! But why not find out a little more? Take a closer look at what this gift has to offer, and discover for yourself if it is able to satisfy your deepest desires and your greatest needs. Talk to a Christian friend and find out more about Jesus. We also have A Story of Hope, a booklet that can tell you a bit more, available without charge. Simply complete and return the attached request form.

I would like to receive additional reading materials. Please send related Christian materials for my further reading.
