Synopsis

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.

Once again, with the Christmas season upon us, it seems that the struggle between those who love the season and everything it stands for and those who want to be “politically correct” begins afresh. Addressing this very real and sometimes distressing situation, Sarah Palin takes on the cynics in her......more

America is an exceptional country. God has given us freedom in this land to choose, to speak, to dream, to experience, and to worship. Writing this note on the day after Thanksgiving 2013 (black Friday), thinking about Christmas 2013 and our family traditions, I can not forget the manger and what Je......more

Goodreads review by JJ on January 11, 2014

As a writer who often writes about religious freedom in America, I was anxious to read this book. However, Palin has a constant sarcastic tone that turns me off both in her speeches and writing. I liked the message in this book and her family stories of Christmas in Alaska but her sarcastic tone and......more

Goodreads review by Kimberly on December 28, 2013

Remember when Christmas break was actually called Christmas break instead of the all-inclusive “Winter Break”? Or how about when you could freely wish someone a “Merry Christmas” without having to worry about offending them? I started to notice a shift when I was in high school and the name of the an......more

Goodreads review by Lori on September 27, 2018

Former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin discusses cultural attacks on Christianity, specifically on the holiday Christmas, in the guise of political correctness. She weaves in stories featuring her own family in or around the holiday. I began reading the e-book, but quickl......more
