About this listen

A heartwarming tale for the Christmas season, Lost December is a modern-day, Christmas-themed retelling of the story of the prodigal son.

When Luke graduates from Wharton with his MBA, his father, CEO and co-founder of Fortune 500 Crisp’s Copy Centers, is ready to share some good news: he wants to turn the family business over to his son. But Luke has other plans. Taking control of his trust funds, Luke leaves home to pursue a life of wanton pleasure seeking.

But when his funds run out, so do his friends. Humbled and alone, Luke takes a job at one of his father's copy centers. There he falls in love with a single mother and begins to understand the greatest source of personal joy.

Another beautiful Christmas story!

I loved this tear-jerker story! I stayed up way too late listening to it. I don't know how this author writes in a way that just feels so real and so emotional. I can relate to so many things in this story. The failures, the heartbreak, the coming back from it all and the joy that results. The main character's feelings about his father reminds me of my feelings about my Heavenly Father and His love for me. So grateful for books like this one.

Great retelling of a Biblical Parable

Good story that involves Christmas but is not really a Christmas story. It will make you grateful for what you have even if you have little.

Uplifting story during times of corporate greed

Evans has a simple style that touches the heart. I do not consider this to be "great literature" but it imparts hope and shows the positive side of human nature. Evans incorporates the importance of faith without being sanctimonious. Besides these things, I love a happy ending!
