Toys, decorations, and gifts of every kind are now available for online purchase. Why should the meaning of Christmas be less accessible to online shoppers as well?

Traditional devotional/Bible Study materials involve a printed book about Christ's coming to earth and are meant to be used as such. However, with holidays sneaking up and the days counting down in their typical way, the time to pick up such a book can be easily overlooked.

Enter the eBook. Only available in hyperspace, the digital medium is the perfect choice for a last minute purchase of a devotional book on a timeline. You buy it, download it, print it off, and in five minutes you are ready to start reading it with your loved ones.

One Christmas book entitled Advent & Christmas in Family Worship available in the digital format can be found on http://www.homefirespublishing.com, a boutique publishing house run by Doug and Amy Hayes. A softbound copy of the book is also available.

When asked about the possibility of future digital products, Amy was enthusiastic, "It's an excellent distribution system that allows our customers instant access to their book without having to wait for shipping."

This is Home Fires Publishing's first digital effort, and if it goes well, further projects may be in the works for the Hayes'.

With the ease and mimimal cost involved in publishing and distributing digital books, this will certainly become more prevalent in future years. So if you are running behind this year grab your laptop, relax by the fire, and teach your kids about Christmas with the book you print yourself!
