The Red Suit Diaries (Abridged): A Real-Life Santa on Hopes, Dreams, and Childlike Faith Audiobook

" Sweet book, and nice to read about a very good Santa. Balances out reading a bad book at the same time. "

" If you're interested in the lore of Santa Claus in the context of American culture, you may enjoy this book. I'm a bit too pragmatic to have been totally impressed or engrossed by this book. I received it as a gift from a dear Aunt so I read it. An okay read, a good read if you play Santa in malls and things like that. "

" I really enjoyed this book of a giving man who also is Santa and embodies the Santa spirit and relating it to God's greatest gift to us while ministering to people and sharing his faith. "

" A diary of sorts about Santa Claus, the difference that I liked, was that he was a Christian Santa, and always talked to the children with a Christian attitude. Some of the stories were sad, some were happy and some you have to laugh outloud at them. God Bless Santa! "

" A very heartwarming collection of memories by "Santa". I will be looking for the sequel! "

" If you're looking for a nice story to read this Christmas, read this one about a real life modern day Santa Claus who takes his job of loving and helping children to heart. "

" What a fun book to read -- it really made me feel the Christmas Spirit and want to reach out to others. Lots of laughs too! What wonderful people they are, I love to hear stories about people helping others and reaching out to show love. "

" I started reading it not realizing what it was about. Although it was a bit preachy for what I usually chose there are some good stories and I feel the writing is very sincere. For a quick read, especially for some holiday fun I would recommend it. "

" Cute book told by a real life Santa. "

" Ed Butchart provides a sweet story of his years serving as Santa Claus and how that relates to his ministry of serving Christ. "

" A touching book to remind you of the reason for Christmas. "

" A truly heartwarming book. I didn't want to put it down. What a wonderful way to explain Santa's place in the celebration of Christmas. I believe! "

" I loved this book! It's filled with great anecdotes from a real-life Santa. "

" This is a great book for anyone who wants to find out about hope, dreams and childlike faith and the real Santa. It also tells about God's love for all of His children. "

" I got this as a gift last Christmas and just packed it away with the decorations. I rediscovered it this year while decorating and decided to read it. It was a great book and a quick read. "

" Fun reading the stories but waaaaaay to Christian for me. "

" Very religious, but also includes many sweet stories from his Santa experiences. "

" I listened to the abridged volume on CD and I loved every second of it! I laughed and then got teary in a matter of minutes. What an amazing story and life this man has lived. The book is read by the author and he sounds just the cutest! "

" I like this man's vision of Santa and how he tried to embody the true meaning of Christmas while playing Santa. Quick read but (I hate to say this almost) not particularly well written. That being said, it's a sweet book that gets you into the Christmas spirit. "

" This is a man I would love to meet. What character! "

" This was a great read. I want to read it every Christmas season. The memoirs of a real man who dresses as Santa at Christmas time living out and sharing his faith with others! I highly recommend. "

" A bit too preachy and self-gloating for my taste, but it's a quick religious read about the real meaning of Christmas, from a man who played Santa Claus professionally and religiously. Some real stories that he encountered in his life were quite touching. "

" Cute stories from a Christian Santa "

" I like this real life Santa because he promotes the true meaning of Christmas by telling kids about Jesus whenever he has the chance. His stories are entertaining and very real! "
