Glenn Beck's "The Christmas Sweater"

I received this book as a Christmas gift and really enjoyed reading it. I just finished last night. Glenn is a master storyteller as he relates the story of a young boy who struggles with some of life's most difficult trials. It is a great read! I recommend it to everyone. It is based on personal trials from Glenn's childhood. However, he adds fiction to the story as well. My favorite part:

"A-tone-ment," he said, punctuating the word. "It's a chance to fix the unfixable and to start all over again. It begins when you forgive yourself for all you've done wrong and forgive others for all they've done to you. Your mistakes aren't mistakes anymore, they're just things that make you stronger. Atonement is the great redeeming and equalizing force that leads to the fulfillment of all things: every hug you've ever longed for, every Ferris wheel, baseball game, and walk in the snow you've missed. Everyone you've loved and lost. Atonement, Eddie, is heaven on earth."

I am reading it. Mom and I saw it in Wal Mart and we are both fans of Glen so we each bought us one. Very good so far.
