This review is from: Pony Express Christmas (Hardcover)

Perhaps I am just a sucker for a Christmas story, but I like this one very much. And, I always appreciate how a professional author can take a story that seems simple and then at the end..... well, no, I really can't tell you. You'll have to read it for yourself. I do not give this a five star rating, however, as I don't feel that the conversations found in the book were as strong as they could have been, especially at the beginning, though they did improve later in the book. My suggestion: BUY THIS BOOK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Tale from a Master Storyteller, December 18, 2002

This review is from: Pony Express Christmas (Hardcover)

The Sparling family is really struggling. They've recently moved to the frontier from Chicago. Jeremiah is trying his best, but he's really out of his league. His wife, Grace, is struggling with their new life, convinced things won't work out.

Then, on Christmas Eve, Jeremiah and their oldest son are stranded on their way back from town with supplies. Fortunately, help arrives in the form of a Pony Express rider who risks his job to help the strangers. Unfortunately, he unknowingly was followed by two outlaws desperate to get their hands on the mail he carries.

Sigmund Brouwer weaves another wonderful tale in this novella. It's a heart warming story of love shown to others at Christmas that's short enough to read in one sitting. Start a fire, pour your favorite Christmas beverage, and enjoy this tale from frontier America.

We own this book and just finished it last night. I read to my "8" + "10" year olds every night and during the Christmas season only read Christmas stories, so I was glad when my friend suggested this one. It wasn't quite what I expected, but I loved the message this story left me with. A Pony Express rider puts an injured man before his priority mail delivery as well as giving up something he valued so dearly, a son gains renewed respect for his father, a mother protects her sons and soothes their fears and a man came to know Christ. One for your home Christmas library.
