Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author and renowned radio and television host Glenn Beck delivers an instant holiday classic about boyhood memories, wrenching life lessons, and the true meaning of the gifts we give to one another in love.
If you could change your life by reversing your biggest regrets, sorrows, and mistakes...would you?
When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. He knew money had been tight since his father died, but Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to afford that dream bike.
What he got from her instead was a sweater. “A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater” that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.
Scarred deeply by the fateful events that transpired that day, Eddie begins a dark and painful journey toward manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family—and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell—to help Eddie find his life’s path and finally understand the significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted with love.

5By Patty LynnI didn't know how this would turn out, but I was truly inspired. I feel a little more at peace with some of my own mistakes in life and work at trying to forgive myself. I am very thankful for Glenn Beck and his giving nature. He is sharing and giving what I need as well as what many others need. Read this to see for yourself, you will see something in it that you need.Christmas Sweater

Since reading this quasi-fictional tale, I have evaluated my life and have realized so much. Words cannot describe the power this book holds. Highly recommended for everyone!
