The Shoe Box: A Christmas Story Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Short and sweet. Just a feel good story about a child's faith. "

" I wouldn't say this was "good", but it definitely had a message. I would also say this is more for children. She is one of my favorite authors, but this is far from being her best. Again, it's more of a short message rather than a story/actual book. I think I finished within a hour while standing in a line. However, it is the second mention of a box (Redeeming Love was the first for me) that I am looking forward to starting my very own box. "

" I really liked this Christmas story. It inspires you to look at what gifts we can give to our Savior. What "things" are most important to us and are we willing to give them away? It is a children's story with a great message. "

" This was a nice book. It was not excellent or terrible, just average. "

" everybody has to read this with a cup of hot chocolate at Christmas! Wonderful read! "

" A little story. Sweet. "

" A short little story that packs a big punch! Reminds us all to have the faith of a child. I truly enjoyed the ending and thought it was a perfect way to finish the story. "

" Again, I love this author. I just read this to the kids and we all enjoyed the story. I enjoyed it to tears. "

" inspiring, quite liked this quick thought provoking little book. "

" This really should be a one star book based on the writing and the quality of the story. I just hate to give one star to a book that is coming from a good place. Unfortunately it really is very poorly executed. I guess I'm compromising by giving a 2 star rating and a 1 star review. "

" Downloaded thinking this was a novel, but it is actually a short story. "

" Get the hanky ready. It took about 20 min to read. Very sweet story. I liked that the author has peppered the book with short little Christmas remembrances, from favorite recipes to favorite music and traditions. Nice read. "

" This is a sweet little story about giving our best gifts to Christ. I am planning to read it to Avery & Ella. "

" Nice little book with beautiful illustrations and receipes. "

" A simple, sweet Christmas novella. I typically love Rivers's work: this is far from her best. This seems targeted for the young reader and would make an excellent read-aloud for a family during the Advent season. "

" Short and sweet kind of Christmas story:) "

" Public library book. Short, sweet, includes family recipes. Took less than an hour to read. "

" About a young boy.....wow......is a great bedtime read to your little son or daughter "

" This was a great short read. It would be a wonderful book to read to your children. "

" I normally love anything by Francine Rivers...I just really thought this was too short to be a GOOD story. It had a great message and a good plot, just not developed enough. "

" This is a short story about a boy and his shoe box. It is interspersed with the author's memories of Christmas's past. "

" Tears, tears, tears for a wonderful Christmas story. "

" this is a quick, sweet story. but the message is clear and tender-hearted. "

" A sweet Christmas Short Story that will become my annual holiday read! "

" Simplistic and predictable, but sweet. "

" This was a quick 40 min CD. It has a great moral. I was most intriguid with the authors "God Box." "

" This is a very short, quick read. It shares a lovely Christmas tale and how a boy with nothing, shares the things he treasures with Jesus. "

" I really can't believe Francine Rivers wrote this book. To me it was one of the worst written novels I've read in a long time. Definetly not her best work. "
