Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Christmas Box (The Christmas Box Trilogy #1)
"Whatever the reason, I find that with each passing Christmas the story of the christmas box is told less and needed more. So I record it now for all future generations to accept or dismiss, as seems them good. As for me, I believe. And it is, after all, my story." So begins "The Christmas Box", the touching story of a widow and the young family who moves in with her. Together they discover the first gift of Christmas and learn what Christmas is really all about. "The Christmas Box" is a Christmas story unlike any other.Specify Books Conducive To The Christmas Box (The Christmas Box Trilogy #1)

I was a bit disappointed overall. It was written well and I have read worse but it came across (to me at least) as a piece of American Evangelical Christian stories, similar to those Left behind novels that came out a few years ago and therefore I could not connect to it, nor feel very comfortable with it, although the story it self is fairly harmless. Not too much to do with Christmas it self either, more to do with a family situation.The Christmas Box is a little story with a compelling message. One who waits too long to receive and embrace the message is risking a lifetime of regret. Richard Paul Evans conveys the tale simply yet elegantly; it can be read in an afternoon. I found The Christmas Box very inspirational and recommend it to all who celebrate Christmas.
This was a reread of this inspiring now classic Christmas story. Grateful that I took time to read it again, despite the hectic demands the Christmas season can produce. In the last couple decades, so many Christmas novels have followed, but this one is a gem that is a forever keeper.

Anyone that can read should read this book. This book has changed my life in a way words can't describe. You will just have to read it and find out yourself.This was the first and only book that has made me cry. I don't know whether it was tears of joy or sorrow. A little of both I think. Makes you think about life. This book teaches you the true meaning of Christmas. To love and to cherish your family while you still have one. For love is eternal.
Before I purchase or read a book that I purchased on a whim, I go to Amazon and read a few reviews. Typically, a couple of the five star as well as the one star reviews, getting a feel for both spectrums. The few negative/one star reviews that I read for THE CHRISTMAS BOX, didnt deter me. Why they believe the book to not be good wasnt concerning enough. The second thing I do is go inside the book and read a few paragraph to get a feel for the authors writing style. If there was ever a book I was
I thought this would be corny but I really loved it! My full review will be up on my booktube channel at http://Youtube.com/peterlikesbooks
Quick read, well written, and convicting as a parent to not get caught up in being too busy all the time, but to make time for our loved ones, especially our children. Our children will grow up and we might miss out on their little lives. I can see myself reading this again next Christmas.
