Summary:
His first holiday book, Joel Osteen offers uplifting and inspiring stories of family and friends celebrating Christmas traditions that will help readers return to the essence of the holiday by practicing the principles taught by our Savior, Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate that day. With these stories, Joel reminds us all of what is truly important in life. Filled with humorous and compelling holiday memories from Joel’s family and friends, this heartwarming collection will inspire and amuse readers while enhancing their faith in God’s goodness and eternal wisdom.
My review:
In true Joel Osteen fashion, he tells tales of growing up at Christmas with his family and friends. Although the stories at times seemed a bit sappy, they were also heart felt as I would expect from this preacher and author. He includes tales told by friends as well.
Each story relates to some facet of the Bible and how he has always grown up with faith that all is good and life is how it should be.
I gave the book 3 stars as I did like the memoir of good feelings but at times felt disjointed and repetitive.
Disclosure: I purchased a copy of this book for my own collections. The views here are 100% my own and may differ from yours.
