This is a very short book and well worth reading! Andy narrates the tale on a CD, where an older gentleman dreamed that the Lord told that He would visit him that Christmas day. But as midnight approached, the Lord still had not come, only 3 people: a shabby beggar, a tired, cold lady and a crying, lost child...
I especially liked where Any Griffith wrote, "May you feel the love of Jesus Christ and share His goodness with others every day of your life." Wow!
This short book would be worth readying yearly and sharing with others!

Heartwarming novella regarding an expected Christmas visit from God - but the elderly man feels he missed his visitor.

This is a little book the size of a CD case. It has an introduction or foreword by Andy Griffith & scriptures, a story about an old man who prepared his home for Christ, but He never came, instead he helped three people. There are also some quotes, I really like this one:

One needs a neighbor on whom to practice compassion.
~ Phyllis McGinnley

On the CD at the back of the book there is a song, "Go Tell It On the Mountain." I remember singing it in high school choir. Andy Griffith narrates the Christmas Guest.

A heartwarming story. Includes CD with narration and song. Especially fun to read and/or listen to during the Christmas season.
