Gifts now on Kindle


My new book is doing well and I am excited. Life Way Christian Books is considering carrying it in their Sacramento store, maybe all their stores, but I won't know for a while. Also, though it is not on the shelves at Barnes and Noble you can ask them to order it for you and not pay shipping, or you can order from them on line, or at amazon.com or if you have a Kindle it is now an EBook.   I love this figurine that a dear friend gave me when I first started writing Gifts. However, I have to say that I don't believe  Mary would have ridden a donkey all the way to Egypt. In addition, Joseph was an educated man and he was not a pauper, therefore, in my story, before getting Word that they had to leave, he had made a cart for Mary to ride in and that is how they went to Egypt, most of the way that is.
I hope you will read this book, - see the review below - and ENJOY.

AMAZON REVIEW - This review is from:

Gifts for the Road: A Journey about Trusting God, While Facing the Unknown

Have you wondered how the gifts for a King the Magi gave Jesus might have been used? Gifts for the Road tells how they helped Mary, Joseph and Jesus escape to Egypt when Herod ordered the killing of baby boys in Israel. Their helpers Azariah and Salome traveled with them, always on the lookout for a couple bandits who followed from village to village. The characters and dialogue were realistic. Laced with humor and romance, the adventure kept me turning pages. Mary, Joseph and Jesus inspired me by the trail of blessings they left along their journey and made me consider how I might be a daily blessing too.

Ordering Gifts for the Road


Ordering Gifts for the Road.

You can go into any book store and ask them to order you one, using ISBN# 978163043670, or you can buy on line at Amazon or Barnes & Noble, they are both better prices than the publisher, America Star Books is a traditional publishing company whose primary goal is to encourage and promote the works of previously undiscovered writers. Like mainstream publishers, America Star Books pays its authors royalties and makes its books available through all bookstores. America Star Books offers a distinctly personal, supportive alternative to vanity presses and less accessible publishers.

Here is what the publisher says about Gifts for the Road. Enter the historical world of Jesus. In Gifts for the Road, McDaniel demonstrates her storytelling prowess as she chronicles Jesus’ birth in the midst of harrowing tragedy.

Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, with helpers and borrowed servants, flee to Egypt from Bethlehem under the threat of Herod’s soldiers looking to kill Jesus. Two bungling thieves are also close behind hoping to steal the money Joseph carries with him. Travel with the wayfarers as they sleep in caves, face wild animals, ride camels and sail the Mediterranean. Meet the families along the way that Joseph and Mary share prophecy with and tell of Jesus’ birth when they are asked why they’re so far from home. Journey nearly two hundred miles south of Memphis to the cave where they live for over six months. Find out the fate of the two crooks and experience romance among the travelers when they help a destitute family in Alexandria get back on their feet. Meet the wealthy Roman who offers them safe travel back to Israel on his Roman vessel.

Gifts for the Road incorporates

Prophecy and truth, as well as traditions and myths established by the Coptic Orthodox Church and folklore recorded in Eastern and Western apocryphal literature.
