An Inspirational Book for Parents Everywhere

I just finished reading a book called The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans. I would recommend this book to all parents. The message of this book is about the importance of spending time with our children. Not missing out on those special events and moments that occur every day when our children are young. In addition, there is a second message for Christians reminding us about the very first Christmas gift that God gave to the world. It is a very quick, easy and inspirational read that I feel provides us with very important insight into what is truly important in our very busy lives.
