About this listen

Nathan Hurst hated Christmas. For the rest of the world, it was a day of joy and celebration; for Nathan it was simply a reminder of the event that destroyed his childhood. But then a snowstorm, a canceled flight, and an unexpected meeting with a young mother and her very special son show him that Christmas is indeed the season of miracles.

Here is a heartwarming and inspirational Christmas novel in the tradition of The Christmas Box and Finding Noel. Sure to be a classic, this new tale brings to life the joy of the season and demonstrates the redemptive power of love.

Great book!

As with all of Richard's books, I was both inspired and uplifted. I have a little more understanding in dealing with my own losses. AG, Texas

A story about forgiveness and miracles

wonderful book - read it during Christmas season

Emotional, touching story with well-developed characters and a message beyond the actual story. Highly recommendable.
Excellent narration!

Good, Easy Read

Where does The Gift rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed this light holiday book. It is a heart-warming story, but was a little on the unrealistic side at parts. I would listen to it again next Christmas, as it helped me escape my work life on my drive home. If you are one that over analyzes books, you may not enjoy it as much.
