New York Times bestselling author and renowned radio and television host Glenn Beck delivers an instant holiday classic about boyhood memories, wrenching life lessons, and the true meaning of the gifts we give to one another in love. We weren't wealthy, we weren't poor -- we just were. We never wanted for anything, except maybe more time together....When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. Although his life had gotten harder -- and money tighter -- since his father died and the family bakery closed...Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to have his dream bike gleaming beside their modest Christmas tree that magical morning. What he got from her instead was a sweater. "A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room. Scarred deeply by the realization that kids don't always get what they want, and too young to understand that he already owned life's most valuable treasures, that Christmas morning was the beginning of Eddie's dark and painful journey on the road to manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family -- and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell -- to help Eddie find his path through the storm clouds of life and finally see the real significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted by hand with love in her heart. Based on a deeply personal true story, The Christmas Sweater is a warm and poignant tale of family, faith and forgiveness that offers us a glimpse of our own lives -- while also making us question if we really know what's most important in them. 3132696 11 11 2008 The Christmas Sweater total:2759|5:774|4:1006|3:749|2:210|1:50| 2759 10494 3936 1114 2 8 true false Sun Dec 07 21:01:14 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 21:04:45 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 4 false false Fri Dec 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 21:23:37 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 21:36:22 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 5 3 false false Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 08:51:49 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 09:06:28 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 2 false false Sat Jan 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 14:03:36 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 06:14:49 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 3 false false Sun Dec 28 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 07:33:06 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 07:12:08 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 3 false false Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Aug 15 16:25:24 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 16 12:53:45 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 19:29:41 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 19:32:54 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Nov 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 17:54:44 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 18:03:48 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sun Dec 07 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 20:32:52 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 12:00:27 -0800 2008 I highly recommend this book for everyone this Christmas.
