Excellent book - The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck

I highly recommend this book. It is very well written. Very heart warming and a great message. Glenn incorporates parts from his own life and story into the book. I just loved this book. 

Some great quotes from the book:

"All journeys, for good or evil begin with one small step." p. 244

"Sometimes the hardest part of the journey is believing that you're worthy of the trip." p. 247

"Your mistakes aren't mistakes anymore, they're just things that make you stronger. Atonement is the great redeeming and equalizing force that leads to the fulfillment of all things: every hug you've ever longed for, every Ferris wheel, baseball game, and walk in the snow you've missed. Everyone you've loved and lost. Atonement is heaven on earth." p. 251

The story has some great twists and turns that keep your interest. While it is a Christmas story it is also a story for all time.

Thanks for the review. We're reading the book now, but we aren't very far into it yet. We wanted to go see the show this month, but weren't able to get reasonably priced tickets anywhere.
