Invite publishes people, not products.

Our goal is to create a better publishing experience. 

We emphasize partnership and collaboration, seek to help authors discover and develop their ministry message through the publishing process, and are committed to putting real resources into the successful marketing of both individual books and the long-term personal development of the author. 

 

 

You're a thought leader.

You have a message to share. We want to help.

We are committed to collaborating with you to produce and/or distribute a variety of media to convey your message, including beautiful, well-written books, podcasts, video content, and more.

Our goal is to help you cultivate and grow your message. We envision an ecosystem of leading-edge thought leadership in which every Invite authors benefits from a virtuous cycle of mutual support and encouragement.

How (Not) to Ruin Christmas (Paperback)

Don't Miss the Miracle of God's Greatest Gift

You want to have a good Christmas. Really, you do. But every year, something steals your joy. Could that something be you?

At Christmas, there’s lots of talk about comfort and joy…but the reality of the season is often less-than-jolly.

The holidays have a way of underscoring grief, magnifying divisions, and creating chaos in the fragile balance of our busy lives.

Forget peace on earth — you just want some peace at your dinner table.

Is there anything you can do to make Christmas all you wish it could be?

How (Not) to Ruin Christmas is a funny, hopeful, and heartwarming guide that will help you replace worry with hope, conflict with peace, misery with joy, and selfishness with love, even in the chaos of the holiday season.

Through humorous personal tales and the unedited, messy story of the first Christmas, you will discover that Christmas was never about the absence of pain and struggle but about God’s light piercing the darkness – a light that still shines in our lives, 365 days a year.

Without adding one more thing to your to-do list, How (Not) to Ruin Christmas will inspire you to shift your perspective, reclaim the wonder of the season, and experience Christmas like you never have before…from the inside out.
