#1 New York Times bestselling author and renowned radio and television host Glenn Beck delivers an instant holiday classic about boyhood memories, wrenching life lessons, and the true meaning of the gifts we give to one another in love.

If You Could Change Your Life by Reversing Your Biggest Regrets, Sorrows and Mistakes...Would You?

We weren't wealthy, we weren't poor -- we just were. We never wanted for anything, except maybe more time together....

When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. Although his life had gotten harder -- and money tighter -- since his father died and the family bakery closed...Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to have his dream bike gleaming beside their modest Christmas tree that magical morning.

What he got from her instead was a sweater. "A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.

Scarred deeply by the realization that kids don't always get what they want, and too young to understand that he already owned life's most valuable treasures, that Christmas morning was the beginning of Eddie's dark and painful journey on the road to manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family -- and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell -- to help Eddie find his path through the storm clouds of life and finally see the real significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted by hand with love in her heart.

Based on a deeply personal true story, The Christmas Sweater is a warm and poignant tale of family, faith and forgiveness that offers us a glimpse of our own lives -- while also making us question if we really know what's most important in them.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In Beck's debut novel, the conservative radio and TV host (An Inconvenient Book) makes a weak attempt at a holiday classic in the vein of It's a Wonderful Life. Despite his single mother's financial hardships, 12-year-old Eddie is certain this Christmas he will receive his much-desired Huffy bike. To his dismay, what he finds under the tree is "a stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that his mother carefully modeled after those she can't afford at Sears (one of four places she keeps part-time jobs). Eddie tosses the sweater and insults his mother before the two go visit his grandparents at their farmouse. On the drive home, though, Eddie's exhausted mother falls asleep at the wheel and crashes, dying instantly. Sent to live with his grandparents, an increasingly bitter and angry Eddie lashes out at his accommodating guardians, engages in typical teenage angst and grapples with belief in God. For all his focus on traditional family virtues like respect, love and forgiveness, Beck's lightweight parable cruises on predictability, repetition and sentimentality.

One of the best Christmas books I’ve ever read and I’ve read a lot! The characters are very real and frustrating at times. It’s so well told that young adults and beyond can appreciate the metaphors and thoughtfulness. A sobering read for Christmas - no pun intended!

This story that the author writes is a very emotional tale of a huge mistake a young boy makes and how he is given a second chance. I liked it and recommend it.

Beck’s tale is told with honest simplicity, love and totally open. What is truth, rings out as truth, and what was imagined shouldhave really happened.

Excellent Book

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2008

Verified Purchase

I stumbled across Glenn Beck on a talk radio station. At first I didn't really care for him, but then I heard him on September 11, doing a commemoration of the anniversary of the twin towers attack, and it touched me in a way that few things have ever touched me. Glenn is a recovering alcoholic who hit rock bottom and with the help of his wife, turned his life around. He has a wonderful view of the family and the importance of each person doing what he or she can to make a difference in our society. This book is based upon his own experiences growing up and is worth the price and much more. (Richard Paul Evans, who wrote The Christmas Box, recommends it highly.) I have purchased copies as gifts for my three daughters. This is a book that will touch your heart and make you stop and think about what is really important in life.

Really good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

I was told about this book and didn't think it was my type of usual read, however, from the very first page I was hooked and read this in one day! Its a moving story that no one can get away from and not remember when they see this title again. Life is short, and its more noticeable when you reach the end of this book, well worth a read
