This was a very inspiring book of short stories. From a small Jewish baby being found by children to a grandfather to find Jesus as his grandchildren softened his heart to a soldier's wife's loneliness with no letter to help until the Christmas Angel stopped by, and so on throughout this book.

I don't usually like short stories but this book was just very inspirational. It shows Jesus' and God's love and just regular people in so many different ways and different ages. It gives you a warm feeling inside. Their characters were unique. I liked them and the many different stories this book held. I highly recommend.

Wonderful set of stories.

Wonderful book

Mega book of stories. 55 very short stories about the true meaning of Christmas, the peace and learning process to realize it. You will find many gems here, historical to present day. You might want to start at the beginning of December and read just a couple at a time, like devotionals, giving yourself time to think about them. They're real life examples, with real people, and maybe a few angels. Great if you just want inspirational very short reads.
