Rating: Summary: Well Written, But Somewhat Boring Review: I got this for Christmas. My mom picked it up thinking it was a Christmas book, but after reading it I realized it was a religion book. It was well written, but boring in my opinion. I do compliment Richard Paul Evans on being able to share the tragedies and triumphs of his life.This is a good book for anyone interested in spirituality. But, this is NOT a Christmas book, so don't get it if that's what you're looking for.
Rating: Summary: An Inspiring Story Review: I have books that I can easily let go. This one I will keep.

Rating: Summary: Another Delightful Book! Review: I have come to believe that Richard Paul Evans can not write a bad book. The Christmas Box Miracle is wonderful. It makes me think that God really does have a plan for us all, if we choose to follow it. The Christmas Box was truly a miracle! Bravo Mr. Evans! Bravo!
Rating: Summary: Great Read Review: I loved reading Richard Paul Evans' new book, The Christmas Box Miracle. He reveals in an honest and straight-forward manner, incidences in his life where destiny and hope were the main life forces. In reading his stories, I was able to remember specific incidences in my own life where I know that the element of hope was paramount to my later successes. I was also able to realize that in my life, like Richard Paul Evans' life, true healing has a spiritual component. This book is fast reading, but the feeling and message leaves a slow, bright feeling that lasts for days. I recommend that anyone who is looking for a way to believe in miracles read, The Christmas Box Miracle.
Rating: Summary: Moving and restored belief in miracles. Review: I read the Christmas Box trilogy and just felt there was something magical in this story and the writing. After reading The Christmas Box Miracle, I understood the spiritual forces of healing and guidance the author received. As soon as I was done with both books, I boxed them up with a purple ribbon around both books because they were so special and sent them to my sister in Texas.

Rating: Summary: Healing Review: I want to thank Mr. Evans for another wonderful book. I lost my 16 year old daughter on August 25th, 2001. Our whole family has had many days of trying to figure out why such a strong Christain young woman would be taken in such a tragic way, but who can question God? The book which I read in one setting has helped me realize many things I already knew but had to see them in print to actually believe. For anyone ,anyone this book is a must read, not for only the content but for the knowing that many things in our life are and will always be left answered, but yet we know the answer. Thank you Mr. Evans for helping me heal.

Rating: Summary: a magic journey Review: In a perfect world, I could sit down with Sir James M. Barrie, Kenneth Grahame or T.H. White and ask them to tell me where the stories that they wrote came from. As a young man, these books stirred my soul, changed my life and left me, at the last page, a better person for having read them but with a thousand questions in my soul. I would ask them the source of the images, the inspiration, the words, and the magic on their pages. And I would thank them for telling me the wonderful story behind the wonderful story. Foe everyone who has read and been touched by The Christmas Box, Richard Paul Evans has heard us and has invited us into his house and his heart to be present at the genesis and journey of his mystical tale and has allowed us to share the stories of those who felt, and were transformed by, the miracle of the book. The Christmas Box Miracle is as much a miracle as The Christmas Box but it is a true, genuine and moving story. It is told with tender affection, a sense of humor and a moving respect for a Higher Power who uses The Christmas Box to heal broken hearts and touch even the most cynical souls. It is a spiritual journey and a life journey and lets us know that, behind the numbers who have read the original book, are real people who were hurting from an unbelievable loss and found the will, through the power of God and a small book, to regain and restart the lives that they thought they had lost within themselves. A must read for those who read The Christmas Box and a perfect reason to read it for those who haven't. Thank you, Richard, for giving me what the other writers who changed my life couldn't give me.
