The Christmas List is the second Evans book (Grace was the first), that our family has read aloud during the holiday season. Life, by devine design, presents many opportunities to discover the Grace of God. Every so often an author comes along who can tell a story, teach a lesson and entertain the heart, mind and soul simultaniously. Richard Paul Evans is one such author. He allows the heart to laugh while the eyes tear, reflecting the trials of our earthly boarding school existence, while the superintendant of love watches over us. I highly recommend this book.JC Calkins, Christian author and nature photographer.
I look forward to Evans' books every year and even with Christmas in the title I couldn't wait until December to start this one. In three words: I loved it. I've already read it more than once and cried every time. There is a beautiful love story between a husband and wife (which is unfortunately a rarity in the world of literature and other media) and even though it made me cry I put down the book feeling inspired, uplifted and grateful. What more could I ask for? I am planning to give this away for gifts this year. One of Evans' best.
This book will touch you in your own unique personal way. It is a book that reminds me about the true meaning and spirit of Christmas which is unconditional love and the peace that comes from seeking forgiveness. This is an inspirational book that deeply touched me and that I will always cherish.
