From the Back Cover
The Prince Mammmoth Pumpkin is a parable of life, loss, and redemption. It concerns a wondrous pumpkin, much larger than an ordinary pumpkin, and the farmer who planted it and watched over it. His was a pumpkin of the heart, the last great hope of a man sinking into loneliness. What happens to the pumpkin, and the farmer, is change beyond expectation. We who read the story are left to wonder at the secret fecundity of life even when it is poured out in rage and darkness.

This review is from: Prince Mammoth Pumpkin (Hardcover)
This beautiful book may seem to be a children's Halloween story - and it certainly is that - but it's much richer message is one that you'll find yourself coming back to time and time again. It will be your new best friend - the one that you seek when you want to curl up in a chair and reflect on God's miracles in your life.
