It’s here! Our favorite time of year! The time for thankfulness and reflection, decorating and singing, and celebrating the miraculous moment when God Himself came to Earth to be born as a baby to Mary and Joseph, to walk humbly alongside His creation; AND, on top of all that, it’s time for another issue of Pure in Heart, made especially for you to be read near the sparkling lights of your Christmas tree.

Issue #8 is crammed full of poems, stories, art, and more, all here to make you smile, think, and wonder about our amazing God who knows and loves us. There are tales of romance and friendship, the bonds of family, quirky animal friends, and a familiar superhero. There are also characters who face perilous storms and confront their biggest fears. We have jokes, comics, and two new recipes that are both healthy and delicious. There’s even a fun game to give you a new Biblical name and Christian title. All are created by kids, teens, and adults who want to glorify Jesus through their creative offerings.

We hope as you read through this issue, you’ll witness the love each author and artist put into every piece, and we especially hope that the love of Jesus shines through these pages and into your heart. We’re happy and honored to present the 8th issue of Pure in Heart!
