Proof For Believing is a Christmas collection that will leave you laughing, smiling, and ultimately realizing that there are things worth believing in.

Proof For Believing is a collection of stories, poems, radio sketches, and personal observations with a Christmas theme. The collection spans a period of 20 years with the earliest piece written in 1985 and the most recent in 2006.

The centerpiece, Proof for Believing is a 50,000 word novella that tells the story of a simple man's quest for proof of the existence of Santa Claus. It is told from the perspective of Lincoln Davies who some describe as either the most honest person that ever lived or the dumbest. In his search for his own proof for believing he unseats a corrupt politician and ultimately helps others realize that there are things worth believing in.

Scott Henderson has worked the past twenty years for non-profit agencies. His published material before this has always been social policy reports dealing with heavy issues such as poverty, homelessness, hunger, and environmental issues. This is his first collection of mainly non-fiction material.

In the mid-90s he was one of the writers and stars of a radio sketch comedy show "Dead From The Neck Up." Some of the wacky sketches from that show appear for the first time in written format in his new book Proof For Believing". He has been happily married to the same woman for 20 years and has 3 children, 4 cats, and a unique sense of humor that shows in his writing.

He is currently editing his newest novel, False Ducks that tells the story of a fictional radio sketch comedy show. More of his "Dead From The Neck Up" sketches have been incorporated into the story.
