A Wonderful Suggested Read

A bestselling author and remowned radio and television host, Glenn Beck delivers an instant holiday classic about boyhood memories, wrenching life lessons, and true meaning of gifts we give to one another. We weren't wealthy, we weren't poor.....we just were. We never wanted anything, except maybe more time together.

When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. It had gotten harder since his father had died and the bakery had closed, but he hoped his mother would somehow manage to get him the bike. Instead, he got from her a homemade sweater that he left crumpled up in the corner of his room.

Based on a deeply personal story, The Christmas Sweater is a warm tale of family, faith and forgiveness.
