The Christmas Box
Rating:  -
This is a thoughtful and sensitive short story that highlights the most valuable gifts in our lives. It is an especially good book to accompany the Christmas holiday and could be enjoyed by the entire family. At any time, however, it is a wonderful reminder to invest time in the special people in our lives and to keep a grateful heart. Mr. Evans writes with simplicity for a wide audience. His story line moves along briskly. With a few words he creates excellent images and characters. There is just enough of a supernatural element to create an air of mystery and expectation. A book like this should not be stored on a shelf but either read each December or passed along to new readers.

This book is more of a long short story than a novel. It could have been shorter. The story involves a young couple with a daugther who move into a mansion owned by Mary, an old lady. The family share the house for a few weeks with Mary and become very attached to her. The upstairs attic has some curious things ( a Christmas box and a cradle). What's Mary's story?The secret is not a big surprise. There are magical, supernatural elements to the story. The story is easy to read and entertaining.This is not "the" greatest Christmas story in the world ,but it is enjoyible and short. I felt good at the end of the tale.

When Richard Paul Evans writes a book, there is always someone you can relate to. He has a gift for writing that places you emotionally in the book itself. The story is a touching story that makes you want to become a better parent, friend, spouse, person and human. I have, for 6 years, been giving this book to friends at Christmas. Everyone always loves the story. It is a quick and easy read also. Dont pass up this book !

This would have been a decent magazine article, but it's not substantial enough to be a book. It is also a bit simplistic, though the message is well-meaning and comes from the heart.

This has to be the most touching, heartwarming books I have ever read about Christmas. I think that everyone should HAVE to read this book. It really makes you think about what Christmas and family is all about. It strikes a few cords in all of us. I love the fact that the Bible has a place in this book also.
It is a very, very fast read so even those who don't read much can make it through quickly. (I read it within 2 hours before church one Sunday morning.)
By the way, once you read this one you will WANT to read the next to that follow; The Timepiece and The Letter. They are wonderful as well.
