The Christmas Sweater: Glenn Beck

When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. Although his life had gotten harder -- and money tighter -- since his father died and the family bakery closed...Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to have his dream bike gleaming beside their modest Christmas tree that magical morning.

What he got from her instead was a sweater. "A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.

Scarred deeply by the realization that kids don't always get what they want, and too young to understand that he already owned life's most valuable treasures, that Christmas morning was the beginning of Eddie's dark and painful journey on the road to manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family -- and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell -- to help Eddie find his path through the storm clouds of life and finally see the real significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted by hand with love in her heart.

Based on a deeply personal true story, The Christmas Sweater is a warm and poignant tale of family, faith and forgiveness that offers us a glimpse of our own lives -- while also making us question if we really know what's most important in them.

I loved The Christmas Sweater. Glenn Beck is a great writer and I finished the book on Christmas Eve. It took a long time to read but it is so worth it!!!

love the fake crying, this guy is a pathetic bastard. You would have to be a moron to say this guy is an amazing man.

@munky25 i watched his show every night almost for 3 years, went to his tour at mohegan, he is a American patriot and loves his country. He gets a little crazy but that is just him. He tells it like it is and is factual 98.8 % of the time, look it up, and when he mistated something, he corrected it the next day. He is a funny prick too boot
