Alabaster's Song

This is one of the most beautifully illustrated, delightful stories I have had the good fortune to encouter. Alabaster, the spirited little angel, touches the life a boy with positive results. The message in this gentle story is that when good is done, pass it on. It is so lovely, so moving that it might make one misty eyed. This book is a real treasure. Max Lucado and the illustrator have used their talents to enrich the lives of others.

This is a fabulous book that brings to mind the wonder of Christmas through a child's eyes. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is timeless and unforgettable! I read this story to my children, ages 11, 8, and 4, each year around Christmas. I even read it to my MOPS group as a Christmas reading last year. Thank you, Max Lucado, for another wonderful children's book!

Alabaster's Song is a story that you should own, even if you don't have a child. It is warm and sweet, and brings you back to the place where the child inside each one of us still lives.As always, Max Lucado has the gift of reaching down into the depths of your heart and soul, and touching you, drawing you closer to God.Make this book part of your library, part of your Christmas traditions. I read it each year to my "babies", who are now 19, 17, and 13. It is a tradition I will carry on with my grandchildren.

As a Preschool Teacher of 4 and 5 year olds, I have read many books about the Christmas Story. This book is by far, the childrens' favorite. It is both touching and exciting. I have never read one of Max Lucado's books that I was not absolutely thrilled with.

I purchased this book for my two small boys--ages 7 and 3. We read it several days before Christmas and each night leading up to Christmas, it was the first book and the last book they wanted to read. They learned what Christmas was about and my littlest conversed with the angels in our home on display asking if they were "Alabaster" and begging for them to tell him the story. It is the only Christmas book that didn't get packed away 'til next year! My boys often find it on the shelf and pull it out to say, "Hi" to Alabaster. This book will bring into your heart and your home the true meaning of Christmas to share with generations to come. You will recognize members of your family in the characters portrayed and desire to change and see how much more wonderful Christmas can be by remembering the story of Alabaster
