I stop to stop and check out my own life after I read this book. Richard Paul Evans has become one of my favorite authors and I am going to read all of his other books. (  ) RPerritt | Nov 6, 2009 | This book was given to me by Angel of Hope in my local area. Angel of Hope is a group that supports grieving parents in the loss of a child. The Angel in this group is based on the Angel in Christmas Box book. It is a very touching story of family and strangers and what is really important in life. It is a short read and while not a great book, is a heart-felt story. It does reflect Mormon religious beliefs, but does not try to convert. (  ) brknhrt | Mar 18, 2009 | Usually, I'm not the type of person to cry over books. If I read something particularly sad, I usually end up sad for a little while, and then I'm over it. I'm not quite sure what it was about this book--but I ended up in tears. Sure, the ending was sad, but it was beautiful, as well. I have a younger brother, so the message that Mary was trying to make really hit home for me--about loving what we have because we don't know how much longer we'll have it. It's so true that oftentimes, everyone gets caught up in the Christmas season and forgets what it is truly about--our Father giving up His only Son so that we may be forgiven and loved ourselves. I really believe that people should read this little book (it's not very long) every year around this time, just as a touching reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. I know that I will. (  ) | Dec 22, 2008 | edit | |   A very touching book - melts your heart although some may find it very syrupy sweet. Back Cover Blurb: Richard, a busy and preoccupied father, discovers a Christmas box full of love letters from an old woman to her dead daughter and, with the help of an angel, begins to learn the true meaning of Christmas.

The book was very short, 128 pages, but to be honest any longer I might have started to get bored. At times it was a little to Hallmark for me, but I did tear up at the end when Mary's story is revealed.
Any book that immediately gives me the urge to hug my children, and give them kisses all over their faces gets a passing grade from me. (
