In her New York Times bestsellers Going Rogue and America by
Heart, Sarah Palin revealed the strong Christian faith that has guided
her life and family. In Good Tidings and Great Joy she calls for
bringing back the freedom to express the Christian values of the season.
She asserts the importance of preserving Jesus Christ in Christmas--in
public displays, school concerts, pageants, and our expressions to one
another other--and laments the over-commercialization and homogenization
of Christmas in today's society.
Interwoven throughout are personal memories and family traditions, as
well as more than a dozen family photos, which illustrate the reasons
why the celebration of Jesus Christ's nativity is the centerpiece of her
faith. Palin believes it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs
before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like
Christmas is marginalized and ignored. She also encourages readers to
see what is possible when we unite in defense of our religious
convictions and ignore the politically correct Scrooges seeking to take
Christ out of Christmas. Good Tidings and Great Joy is a call to
action to openly celebrate the joys of Christianity, and say Merry
Christmas to one another.
