Unabridged on three audio cassettes.
"One long-ago Christmas, Big Earl Gibson lost the two things most precious to him-his wife and daughter. Angry and heartbroken, he abandoned his belief in God and is now living on the street. Gideon is a seven-year-old leukemia patient determined to reach out to this lonely and hurting man. And Earl is just as determined to rebuff her. It is only through a miracle that Earl finally comes to understand the true meaning of Christmas. And it's only then that he can return the favor with a precious gift of his own."
Although this book is set at Christmas time, it is inspirational at any time of the year. Gideon's innocence really helps her never to give up on helping Earl, a homeless man she meets at the mission. There is a lesson for all of us not to give up on people, because they look dirty or are particularly grumpy. There may be a tough story behind the exterior that just needs someone's persistent love to melt a hardened heart.

My cassette player went & died on me, and I haven't gotten a new one, so this book will be traveling soon.
This book has cute little stained-glass flowers on the cover (front and back): I believe it's the publisher's logo.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
To be released during the Great Aloha Run Expo, February 12-14. We'll see if it gets claimed, or if it comes back home again.
Wild released for Secretariat's 2016 Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Challenge (week 6: flowers), zbird's Groundhog Day challenge, and AlterEgoZoe's Leap into the Wild Challenge.
(Over the course of three days, I took 6 CD audiobooks, 18 cassette audiobooks, and 45 other books to the Great Aloha Run Health & Fitness Expo and left them at the end of the table in our booth. At the end of the last day, the only things left were 3 of the cassette audiobooks. Now let's see if I get any journal entries!)

I'm so glad you've found this book!
Won't you please make a journal entry to let the book's previous readers know that it's safely in your hands? How did you find it? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?
It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!
If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.
(Think of it like Where's George for books...or a little like geocaching - you can follow the book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)
