Heart Warming!!

This book is so great and sad. I'm not very emotional and I almost cried. It shows how any sin no matter how great it is can be forgiven by God because He loves us so much. I also recommend other Max Lucado books like Cosmic Christmas.

This is a book that will live on in peoples hearts forever

I got this book for Christmas last year from my Aunt and I read it that night... it was such and wonderful story it made me cry. This book really makes you think about how important it is to have family and friends around for Christmas and all through the year. The way the book is desinged and the little truesures that it holds makes you want to dive right in the story and it leaves you with a deep feeling of saddness and happiness. And when i have children i am planning on giving this book to them and to have it out every Christmas so that others can read is heart-warming story. Merry Christmas!

My new Christmas Eve tradition--reading this book.

I started this book in the evening of Christmas Eve and finished it the minute I woke on the next morning. Never did I think a book could change my whole attitude. And on top of it all, my husband was listening to a Christian radio station and Max Lucado was reading this book on Christmas morning. My family huddled around the book and "read" along with the author. Now every year, I will be reading this book on Christmas Eve--hopefully out loud to anyone that will listen.

Excellent interactive book for adults and older children.

What a fun book! Peeking in the envelopes to see the hidden surprises took me back to my days of "pop-up" books. The moving story had a wonderful surprise ending. This book would make an excellent Christmas gift for almost any age.

Life will stop around you as you complete this book!

Max Lucado's books are wonderfully written, and beautifully illustrated. Each person I have shared this book with loved it also. An added bonus are the three envelopes you open as you read the story; it made it an interesting plus for all of us. This story centers on a man's journey at Christmas to find out why he received in the mail a photo of a church in Texas. As the mystery unfolds, you will find yourself getting caught up in the story, wanting to skip to the back of the book to find out how it will end. Hold out, don't skip to the last page, it will be worth reading it it from cover to cover! Whether or not you've ever read a Max Lucado book, this is one you'll want to purchase for your own library. I have bought several for gifts! Very enjoyable "feel good" reading!
