About the author

I'm Theresa. I love Jesus, and I love Christmas.

In my first year of college, my resident advisor had a Christmas tree decorating party in her dorm room just before final exams. Since then, I have leaned into Christmas as a stress reliever rather than a source of stress. With that in mind, I created The Gift of Christ for busy Christians seeking a Christ-centered Christmas.

While creating this book, I prayed that The Gift of Christ would bring Christ down to earth for you so that you may walk through the Christmas season with Him and enjoy His peace. I crafted this advent calendar devotional to meet you where you are in your Christian journey and season of life. 

Last Christmas, I had The Gift of Christ tested by Christians at various stages in their faith walk. Each of them confirmed that God answered my prayer to create a book that helps the reader enjoy all that is true, noble, and worthy of the Christmas season and accomplish all the holiday tasks from a place of rest.
