Chasing Christmas

This is a heartbreaking story (where Teddy is so depressed he tries to commit suicide, and thank goodness he isn't that good at it), it is impassioned (where an Angel presents him with a life or death lesson before Christmas morning), it is also hellish ( where dark forces also are after him before Christmas morning, before the Angel could get to his soul. Where will Teddy end up on Christmas? What happens to Teddy on his journey? Will he survive or will the entity win? This was like A Christmas Carol and then I said NO WAY this is a separate entity on its own - this author way went out and beyond A Christmas Carol. He has created his own Niche of great Christmas Stories I believe that he has done this. Congratulations Mr. Hunt, you have made a wonderful book for depressed people and a great book for Christmas and a good scary book for those who like a good little scare - a great trifecta.

Christmas is always my favourite time of year. I loved reading this novel that captured my heart from the very beginning

Chasing Christmas reminded me a lot of Charles Dickens tale of Scrooge, though it was a different twist with the main character dealing with depression. I appreciated the family values and faith interwoven throughout the story - it refreshingly ended with satisfying redemption. The issues dealt with were very realistic to what many families face now, so was timely.

Initially, I wasn't quite sure how I felt about a 10 year old angel-like character threatening a depressed man with death if he did not pass these lessons. But as I got into the book, I ended up learning more on faith, hope, and love, and how these 3 simple words can help us get through the most difficult times.
