This is a wonderful book. I read it over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed every story. It's all about how God has carried out His promises during the Christmas seasons over the years for many of the author's friends and family. All the stories are true and many are heart wrenching. I particularly liked the notes from God at the beginning and ending of each story all based on words from the bible, and the personal prayer that ended each story, making the story meaningful to the reader. Each story proves that God does keep His promises if we are willing to look at our circumstances in that manner. If we are willing to allow God to work in our lives and solve our problems we will see his promises fulfilled. 5 stars for this one.

This is a sweet gifty type book. It is small and hard cover. The paper is a buff color and the typeface is pretty. Most of the pages have borders on them. It is not really a book to sit down and read through, but rather one to pick up and savor as part of your prayer time. The sections include pages of beautifully scripted scripture quotes on a theme, written sort of like a letter from God. Those pages are decorated with a Christmas theme. They are followed by a poem or some heart-warming story that illustates the theme. The book is a nice reminder to slow down, to remember the reason for the season and to savor it.
