A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider contains more than 50 honest stories written from the heart. These include moving true-life experience, thought-provoking drama, light-hearted humour, imaginative fiction, and touching poetry.

The settings range from a First Nations community in Canada's Far North and a remote farm on the Prairies, to a multi-cultural kindergarten in Toronto, a lonely highway in Nova Scotia, the isolation ward of a children's hospital, a blinding snowstorm in Québec, and a crammed church auditorium in British Columbia.

The short pieces — each of which contains a complete story — make it easy for readers to pick up the book and read something satisfying and uplifting when taking a break from their busy schedules. While there's lots of variety, all of the pieces are filled with hope and encouragement.

“Like a heart-to-heart conversation with a close friend, A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider draws us into the intimacy of relationship with one another and our Creator. As you traverse this wonderful collection of significant moments in the lives of ordinary people, you'll be inspired by God's extraordinary grace. Enjoy. You'll be warmed and filled.” — Karen Bjerland, President and CEO, FaithLife Financial
