May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Christmas Fiction Book Review: The Christmas Angel Project by Melody Carlson
About
the book:
Abby
Wentworth is the glue that holds her book club together. So when she
unexpectedly passes away on the cusp of the Christmas season, the rest of the
women in the group are stunned, saddened, and sure that, without her, the group
can't continue.
They gather "one last time" to open gifts Abby left behind, little knowing how it will change each of their lives--forever.

What
I thought:
It's only September, but I'm already reading Christmas books. That's what happens when you're a reviewer. I've enjoyed every Christmas book I've read by Melody Carlson. But I'm not sure I can put into words the excellence of The Christmas Angel Project. Not just because I love Christmas books, but because this is one of those books that makes a difference. Melody has created four real women with legitimate problems. Through loss and sadness they find hope and joy as they learn to lean on God. My favorite line from the book spoke volumes to me, "Sometimes we have to let our dreams go in order to allow God to bring them back to us—in his way and his timing." This is a perfect Christmas read to inspire the celebration of the giving spirit of the holiday season.
