Explanation Conducive To Books Grace
Updated and Renamed now as If OnlyA heartwarming and inspirational Christmas novel in the tradition of The Christmas Box, The Gift, and The Christmas List. The New York Times bestselling author of The Christmas Box and The Walk series returns with a holiday novel of hope, love, and redemption.
She was my first kiss. My first love. She was a little match girl who could see the future in the flame of a candle. She was a runaway who taught me more about life than anyone has before or since. And when she was gone my innocence left with her.
As I begin to write, a part of me feels as if I am awakening something best left dead and buried, or at least buried. We can bury the past, but it never really dies. The experience of that winter has grown on my soul like ivy climbing the outside of a home, growing until it begins to tear and tug at the brick and mortar.
I pray I can still get the story right. My memory, like my eyesight, has waned with age. Still, there are things that become clearer to me as I grow older. This much I know: too many things were kept secret in those days. Things that never should have been hidden. And things that should have.

I read this by accident, and am glad I did so. The story was not comfortable, but it was compelling. What I learned from this book is that those of us who stand by and do nothing to protect or protest the treatment of children and other disadvantaged members of our society as as guilty as those who torture, murder and abuse them. We cannot remain silent in the face of such abuse of the helpless.A patron who attends the Inspirational Book Club recommended this one to me. We had read one of Evans' other titles and this was a YA work of his. She really liked it and didn't want to give away the ending....I don't either. Suffice it to say it doesn't end like you think most inspirational stories end.The story takes place in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is a turbulent time for our nation but there is more turbulence in the life of teen-aged boy named Eric and his family. Eric,
The second sad, sappy Richard Paul Evans book I read this holiday season. They do touch something in me that makes me keep reading them.
I love the way Richard Paul Evans writes. His books are clean fast reads. This isn't a feel good plot; however it is one about love, loyalty, and forgiveness. A very unique twist on the Christmas story of the Little Match Girl.
Not a feel good Christmas tale AT ALL. It is actually one of the more depressing books I've read this year. Usually by the end of Richard Paul Evans' books, I feel a peace wash over me, I felt very sad after reading this. With that said, it is very good, well written and engaging, like the rest of his books.
Reviewed by Jaglvr for TeensReadToo.comIf one were to look up the definition of "grace," this is what one would find: a virtue coming from God or disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency among others. But either of these definitions could apply to the beautiful story written by Mr. Evans. GRACE is another amazing story written by the author of THE CHRISTMAS BOX. For those who have never read anything by Mr. Evans, GRACE will not disappoint, and will most likely
This book was one that I bought on impulse. I wanted to buy a book because I had money, and what else would I spend money on? I saw this cover and read the description and it seemed to be a cute light read. I wasn't blown away (I wasn't expecting to be), but I also wasn't disappointed.The thing that annoyed me most was this: when Eric first invites Grace to live in his backyard clubhouse, he says this: I suddenly remembered Grace and felt a strange excitement.During the summer Joel and I trapped
