Description

"Every Christmas, I still think about that guitar and the sacrifice it represented. And I hope I don't forget to think about the greatest sacrifice of all, God's gift of Himself." Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, overindulging, competition, and stress. But according to Mike Huckabee (who was a pastor before getting into politics), that was never God's intention. Going back to the Nativity, Christmas is supposed to be about simple things- faith, love, family, and hope. The hard part, in today's crazy world, is remembering that those simple things are the most precious of all. Now Huckabee recounts twelve Christmas memories-often funny, sometimes deeply moving-that range from his childhood in Arkansas to his years as a young husband and father to his time as a governor and then a presidential candidate. These true stories will help you smile, take a deep breath, and maybe slow down your own holiday treadmill. If you're looking for a little clarity, sanity, and inspiration at this insane time of year, you're sure to enjoy A Simple Christmas.

Reviews

"There is no doubt readers will readily relate to the emphasis and stories included because they are so down to earth and similar to many people's Christmas experiences...It is an easy but very enjoyable read."--Ed Spann, former dean, Dallas Baptist University
