Dec 22, Christine rated it really liked it. This was a sweet story of forgiveness. Dec 01, Tricia rated it it was amazing. Nov 08, Shakara Withers rated it liked it. This is a short, fictional tale by renowned Christian author Max Lucado. If you know me well or have already read my other Goodreads review, then you know about my near-obsession with Lucado he's one of my favorite writers across all genres.

I figured I'd give this book a read because I'm trying to fulfill a goal of reading all of Lucado's published material! This story is a little bit about Christmas The holiday felt much more like a backdrop or something incidental to the story, not critical This is a short, fictional tale by renowned Christian author Max Lucado. This story is a little bit about Christmas The holiday felt much more like a backdrop or something incidental to the story, not critical to the story's progression.

For instance, with a little bit of maneuvering, I think Lucado could have set this story on any other holiday or even on any ordinary day and the story could have still worked. Personally, I prefer Lucado's nonfictional works to his fictional ones, but this one was gripping nonetheless I read it in a day because I couldn't put it down!

Nov 23, Elaine rated it it was amazing Shelves: The main character, a man whose father receives a photo in the mail — a photo of a church — Clearwater Lutheran Church. He sets out to find the church pictured in the photo. What he learns upon finding the church surprises him very much.

Dec 12, Barbara rated it it was amazing. After I got into this story, I realized that I had seen the movie. Still, it's a great story of forgiveness and finding your true self. We all can take a page out of this book. Do you have someone you need to forgive this Christmas? While Christmas is a time of great joy for many, it is also a very sad time for some.

Try to make it a happy one for someone else. This book wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either. It was really short and didn't take long to read but it also did not have a lot of details. I think it could have been expanded and would have been better but it was an ok book the way it was. Dec 13, Esther rated it it was amazing Shelves: The Christmas Child is a sweet, touching story about forgiveness and the real meaning of Christmas!

My eyelashes brimmed with tears more than once. The mesage of the scarlet cross was so perfectly put! This book has been such a blessing to me!

Dec 03, Laura rated it really liked it Shelves: In Clearwater, Moses does find the mystery of his birth and the reason why a whole lot of people are trying to keep him from finding out. Christmas Child is a nice enough family holiday classic. With Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman playing the part of a preacher in the film, it was guaranteed from the start to have a built in audience appeal. Chapman was fine in the role, truth be told the part was no stretch for him. In the film his character and his wife adopt a young foundling child, in real life Chapman and his wife adopted three Asian orphans.
