Book Review (from The Joyous Living)
A Christmas Miracle is set in a small fictional community where awkward, novice pastor Bill Sanders (who does not have the gift for preaching) is given his last chance at a congregation in the shape of the downtrodden church, Holy Nativity, that suffers from leaking roofs and a stringent church treasurer. The holiday novel promises humor, warmth and laughter and unfortunately falls hard on its face with a few jokes and laughs here and there but everything else feels like it has been lifted from a cookie cutter with no significant message and few characters worth rooting for. I had really hoped for a Christian Christmas story to start off the holiday season but alas this one does not hit the mark. I cannot even tell you for sure what the miracle was. Eek, is that a bad sign or what?
For my Christian friends you will find that this book may be set in and around a church with the climax being Christmas. Unfortunately there are no other significant signs that this is a Christian book published by a Christian publisher (WestBow Press). There were even several uses of the Lord’s name in vain.
If you would like to find your own copy of this book, you can get it at Amazon here and Barnes and Noble here. I hope you enjoy.
I'll have to look into this one. I've been wanting some good Christmas reads!
i hope you enjoy it!
This is honestly a great book. I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Christmas book.
it is funny how people have different opinions about things but that's why there are so many options out there for everyone to have something they like. glad you enjoyed it.
I haven't read it yet, will definitely pick it up for the Christmas break. Thank you so much for the reco.

This looks so cute!
hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! Little confused because you recommend it but say it falls flat and doesn't hit the mark? Maybe I'll choose something else!
i never actually recommend the book but i do give links to buy it if you are interested.

OK, now I am all types of curious about this book. At first glance it looks like a children's book, your description tells me otherwise. I am intrigued, but I am Christian and not cool with the Lord's name in vain. I am just curious how it turns out, what is the age appropriateness of it?
i think kids would be bored so maybe junior high up?
I'd love some good Christmas reads as the holiday season is approaching. What others do you recommend?
i don't actually recommend this book. it's just a review. i do love Mary Balogh's Under the Mistletoe collection of short stories for the romantic and God Gave Us Christmas is a lovely children's book
Great review. Would be looking into it in the coming year ending holidays. I would positively come back here to give the feedback after finishing it.
maybe you'll like it.
I think I will have to pick up a copy and give it to a few friends as well!
perhaps it will be something you could enjoy. to each their own.
Different books for different folks I suppose! I prefer the Grinch for my Christmas read! Hehe
dr. seuss is a legend 😀
Well base de on your review this is maybe not the best Christmas book out there. I will have to take a look
thank you very much for reading the review. seems so few of the commenters did 🙁
What a wonderful review! Sounds like a great read! However, its not of my genre! Currently I'm reading Becoming by Michelle Obama!
hope you're enjoying Ms. Obama's book.
This books sounds great review. This coming Christmas season, Christian Christmas story is better to read than any else. it gives you a lot of lesson in our lives.
i'm not actually a fan as you would see in the reviews but i hope you enjoy it. something different for everyone, right?
Such a good book for Christmas! The kids will love this one
i hope it suits your family. young ones might find it boring?
I’ll have to check it out. We don’t have many Christmas books for my toddler yet.
i don't know if this is geared towards toddlers FYI.
if you can't tell what the miracle is, then it tells you so much about the book itself. that is disappointing
THANK YOU for actually reading my review. I feel like so many didn't 🙁
My grandma always reads a Christmas book every year and I really want to start! I wish I could add this to my reading challenge, but it sounds like I should definitely skip it! Hopefully we can both find some good holiday reads
thank you for READING my post. i appreciate your thoughtful comment.
Definitely perfect for Christmas feels. We should really cherish everything about. May it sounds or reads. Merry Christmas to all.
You were so right Diana, we should definitely feel Christmas by whatever way can. Whether it's songs, books shows etc. And I'm done with my Christmas decorations
