Gideon's Gift - by Karen Kingsbury

About the Book

A little girl's gift to a homeless man forever changes both their lives and reminds them of the true meaning of Christmas.

Book Synopsis

In this powerful holiday story, a man who lost everything has his whole life changed after a little girl's letter reminds him of the true meaning of Christmas.

Ten years later Big Earl meets Gideon, a seven-year-old leukemia patient who believes with all her heart that "Christmas means never having to ask God how much he loves us." Gideon is determined to reach this lonely and hurting man who hates Christmas -- and he is just as determined to rebuff her. It will take a miracle for Earl to come to understand the true meaning of Christmas. But if he can accept what Gideon wants to give him, he might find that he can return the favor with a precious gift of his own.

In Gideon's Gift, Karen Kingsbury reminds us that Christmas is still a time of miraculous possibilities if only we reach out to those around us.
