The Christmas Star By Ace Collins

Robert Reed gave his life for his country in the early days of World War II. His sacrifice was honored when his widow and son were presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor. At Christmas, the final decoration Marge Reed hangs on the family’s tree is that medal. Rather than being a symbol of honor for young Jimmy Reed that shining star represents loss, pain, and suffering.

Yet a message delivered by one of Robert’s fellow soldiers and a mystery letter found in a Bible put a father’s sacrifice and faith into perspective and bring new meaning to not just the star hanging on the Christmas tree but the events of the very first Christmas. Then, when least expected, a Christmas miracle turns a final bit of holiday sadness into a joy that Jimmy has never known.

Let me tell you if you read no other Christmas book this year make sure that you read this one.

I feel in love with Calvin and I know that somewhere in the real world there are some "Clavins" I would give anything to meet just one.

This is a very touching book. Ace can tell it just like it should be, I love that.

If must say that this is the BEST CHRISTmas book that I have read in a while. It touched me so much! This book should be read by everyone in the whole world. It would change the whole world that is for sure.

It will stay on my book shelf forever. I give this book 5 stars two times!
