Summary: Christmas in Heaven
Comment: Max Lucado looks at the Christmas story from a very different angle in his first novel. Loosely based upon the scriptures, the story tells of Gabriel being summoned by the Lord to go to Earth and deliver a great message3 that is reminiscent of the opening scenes of "It's a Wonderful Life". There are some fictional angels who appear now and then, but it helps to flesh out the story. The most poignant scenes are when Gabriel does arrive on Earth and actually is protecting Mary from Satan just before the birth of the Messiah - this is, of course, a fictionalized account.
However, the book does have its drawbacks. First, the size and shape of the book make it awkward to hold and read. This sounds petty, but it was a real problem for me. Also, the illustrations did not add to the story and were misplaced. I could have done without them. Most importantly however is that the book is just too short. There are not enough details and it really feels more like an outline than a compete story.
Why 3 stars?:
While Lucado's first novel is an interesting take on the story of the Nativity, it was not designed particularly well. It will make a nice addition to Lucado fans' bookshelves, but otherwise it could be skipped.

Summary: the angel fighting is a little cheesy, but the rest is great
Comment: what i understood the intent of this book to be was that lucado wanted to convey the message of the vast love of God. i think he did this exceptionally. the books reads quickly (about 2 hours), and is worth buying for your personal library.
I am especially intrigued by how lucado described the Godhead (oneness) -- very accurate!

Summary: Christmas story with a twist
Comment: Max Lucado did it again! This story does not stray from the original, it only broadens it. Although one knows it is not intended to replace the actual Word of God, it brings new light to the birth of Jesus. I read the story to my Sunday School class of adults and they were mesmerized! The love and sacrifice God made for us is brought to light.
