I liked Gideon's Gift by Karen Kingsbury. This is the first book I read of hers and is part of the Red Glove series. An 8-year-old girl with cancer befriends a homeless man (Earl ) at the mission and gets him to believe in God. He in turn gives her family a “perfect Christmas.” I liked it and recommended it to Gerard.

Here's what Gerard thought of it:
Gideon’s Gift by Karen Kingsbury is a good story about a little girl, a homeless man and Christmas miracles. You could probably read it in one sitting. It’s perfect for a snowy night with some hot chocolate. This is a warm, feel good story that I liked more than I thought I would. I give it 5+ stars.
