Nana settles down after a busy day preparing for Christmas with her precious grandchildren six-year-old Lily and eight-year-old Lance. She snuggles in with a huge plate of cookies and a Christmas story. A Christmas story from her memory banks and close to her heart.
Peter is pastor of the little town of Bridgeport and supported by his sister Grace Ann, they lead their flock. Head of his own flock in nearby town Kettle Springs Hank runs The Last Call, a rowdy bar with the Hell's Outlaws motorcycle club as customers.
Totally unappreciative of their own individual challenges one Christmas the friends decide to trade places. As they battle with their new roles and fully appreciating their lives and their roles and responsibilities for the first time, Hank and Pete settle in and open their eyes.
If you're looking for some festive fiction, this is a gorgeous tale full of Christmas cheer; I smiled all the way through. This is a beautiful tale of friendship, of community, of people coming together in spite of their differences, of togetherness and hope. And love, of course, love. Most of all, love.

The Christmas Spirit Synopsis
Will they find their happy-ever-after this Christmas?
Peter and Hank are lifelong friends, but when it comes to their jobs they couldn't be more different. Peter is a small-town pastor and is devoted to helping the community, while Hank runs the local pub and is never too far from a party. But this Christmas, everything is about to change . . .
Having never settled down, Peter and Hank believe their demanding jobs are keeping them from finding love. Convinced that the other has it easier, they hatch a plan to swap places the week before Christmas to put their theories to the test and find time for themselves.
But as Hank quickly becomes overwhelmed by nativity plans, and Peter struggles to control the rowdy festive pub-goers, they each begin to worry they're in over their heads. Luckily, church assistant Grace is on hand to help Hank navigate a church/life balance, and a young woman seeking shelter at the pub might be exactly what Peter needs to realise there's more than one way to help his community . . .
This Christmas, will Peter and Hank's stunt fall flat, or will it open their eyes to the possibility of love at last?
The Christmas Spirit is a warm and wintry delight from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. The perfect Christmas read for fans of Milly Johnson, Cathy Bramley and Trisha Ashley
