Summary: A Must-Read Christmas story
Review: A Cosmic Christmas will forever change the way you look at the familiar christmas story. Max Lucado takes you into his imagiation and shows you what it Might have been like at the coming of Christ. A scheming Satan and battling angels will keep you turning the pages as you are engrossed in this spiritual battle between good and evil, life and death.It can be read in less than an hour. In a span of 3 days, I and 3 of my friends had read it and LOVED it. Make a spot for this on your Christmas list.

Summary: Satan does not want this book read!
Review: A real thought-provoking story; which can give insight into a realm so many are searching for today. There is so much emphasis on "spirituality" but it comes right down to Good versus Evil. It's author is so gifted with word-pictures, wisdom and knowledge you cannot put it down once you embark on the journey.

Summary: A great christmas book.....
Review: A very moving and inspirational book with the combination of fiction and fact related to the birth of Jesus. Even though some is fictional Max Lucado has a true insight to what it was like in the heavens before Jesus was born. A wonderful and moving book. Great Job Mr Lucado. You did it again.

Summary: Awesome picture of spiritual battle
Review: Although by his own admission largely fictionalized, Lucado delivers another winner of a story. Great for teenagers and up...probably challenging for younger readers because you have to visualize and think beyond what is written (which is not hard, with all the description Lucado provides). I have been focusing lately on spiritual warfare with the Bible study I have been teaching and one of my students gave me this book for Christmas...it is truly a powerful picture of all that goes on between God and Satan that we do not have privilege (thankfully, I think) to see. Even though you know how the story turns out (Christ WAS born, after all) it is still an exciting story that made me think --what IF the vial had been broken? It made me appreciate Christ more and think about God in a deeper way.

Summary: A Wonderfully, Different Retelling of the Christmas Story!
Review: Cosmic Christmas, though a novel, helps one to visualize more of the whole picture of salvation and redemption. My Church used Cosmic Christmas for a dramatic reading for a special advent service. It was well received by all. Max, you outdid yourself. To God Be The Glory!

Summary: A Wonderful Christmas Story
Review: I always imagined Jesus' birth as a peaceful event, lambs lowing, all's right with the world. This book opened my eyes to other possibilities and it's probably much closer to the truth.

Review: I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN. I DO NOT USUALLY READ MUCH BUT, WITH THIS BOOK I WAS ABLE TO READ IT IN 2 HOURS. I LOVED THE DESCRIPTIONS AND HOW IT MADE YOU THINK. I WOULD SAY GIVE TO EVERYONE FOR CHRISTMAS AND EASTER! GREAT JOB MAX LUCADO!

Summary: Very addictive
Review: I fell in love with the books of Max Lucado a few years ago. All of his stories are very easy to read. I started to read Cosmic Christmas and became completely addicted. When I first picked it up, I just read a few pages. I couldn't wait to get back to it. I had to make time to finish the book. I couldn't think about anything else. Everyone I have loaned it to has said the same thing. "I just can't put it down!" It is a wonderful story, creatively written. You can actually feel the throne room. You can feel the Hell Hounds around you. You can feel yourself standing in the presense of the baby king, Jesus. I highly recommend this book to everyone of all ages. It also makes a great Christmas gift.

Summary: A New Knowledge
Review: I first heard this story in sixth grade yet my teacher never finished it. At the end of the school year I asked to borrow it, and she let me. I read it in about a half hour and being a Lutheran all my life it really expanded my knowledge of the Christmas Story that no one had ever shared with me before. I'm now a freshman in high school and have read it many times, and I'm still begging my mom to get it fo me for Christmas.
