    The Christmas Sweater
    City of Bones
    • When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder commited by three teenagers covered with odd markings. This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons--and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It's also her first meeting with gorgeous, golden-haired Jace. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in an ordinary mundane like Clary? And how did she suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....

      If you could change your life by reversing your biggest regrets, sorrows, and mistakes, would you? #1 New York Times bestselling author Glenn Beck presents a heartfelt narrative about boyhood memories, life lessons, and the true meaning of love. Growing up, Eddie's family was neither wealthy nor poor, but they longed for more time together. At twelve, Eddie's Christmas wish was for a bike, especially after his father’s death and the closure of their family bakery. Despite their struggles, he hoped his mother would surprise him with his dream bike on Christmas morning. Instead, he received a "stupid, handmade, ugly sweater," which he discarded in frustration. This moment marked the beginning of Eddie's painful journey into adulthood, as he grappled with the realization that children don’t always get what they desire. With the help of a wise neighbor named Russell, Eddie learns to navigate the challenges of life and understand the true significance of his mother’s lovingly crafted gift. Based on a personal true story, this poignant tale explores themes of family, faith, and forgiveness, prompting readers to reflect on what truly matters in their own lives.
