"The Christmas Angel Project"
by Melody Carlson
by Melody Carlson
Five women from different walks of life have become close friends through their book club--enjoying one another's company even more than they enjoy the books. So when the leader of the book club unexpectedly passes away on the cusp of the Christmas season, the four remaining friends are stunned. They relied on Abby for inspiration and motivation. She was the glue that held them together, and they're sure that without her the group can't continue.
When the group gathers "one last time" to open a bag Abby's husband gives them, they find Abby had made each of them an angel ornament for Christmas, crafted especially for each woman and accompanied by a sweet and personal note. Inspired by their beloved friend, together Cassidy, Louisa, Grace, and Belinda decide to commit themselves to becoming Christmas Angels to others in need. Each woman will use her life situation and talents to reach out and help others in her own unique way--little knowing that her own life and her relationships will be changed forever.

I was really looking forward to reading this book, but I found myself having a hard time getting into the story. The first few chapters were very hard to read and get through, for whatever reason they just could not keep my attention. However, once I finally got to the heart of the book, I really enjoyed it. I loved how each of the four women took the troubles and trials that they have faced throughout their lives and used them to help others. The book inspired me to try to do more to help others. We can all use the gifts and abilities that God has given us to help others, and this book is an excellent reminder of that. I want to thank Melody Carlson for reminding me that while we all have our own share of problems other people have problems and needs as well, and I need to think about others more and do more for them.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. No review positive or negative was required. All opinions are my own.
