A Simple Christmas

This was a book that brought back many memories of Christmas and illustrates how commercialized Christmas has become. The stories remind us of what Christmas means and to appreciate all the lessons learned in life. The hard times shape us as much or more than the good times. It was an excellent read for Christmas and any other time.

huckabee

I like mike huckabee and liked him even more after reading the book. This has a lot of very beautiful stories about his life growing up around christmas time. He always has a positive outlook even when things aren't always perfect.

Memorable Christmases

Huckabee writes of Christmas memories as a child. This would be a good gift book or book for oneself. It brings back memories of Christmas past. Also a good autobiography of Huckabee's life.

Informative

Not impressed with the beginning chapters, but greatly enjoyed the rest of the book and the insight into what kind of a man Mike Hucabee has become.

What a Christmas blessing!

Mike Huckabee is open, real and completely original in this Christmas memoir. The true meaning of the season is quite evident in his stories. I appreciated the twelve-story format, this works well for short devotionals before Christmas Day.

One can only imagine what an amazing President Governor Huckabee would be! Someone with these values needs to be in the Oval Office...

Memories of Christmas past.

An interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes sad account of some of Huckabee's past Christmas memories and how the events formed who he is today.

Wonderful book; the author and his family are amazing

The book tells a beautiful account of simple Christmas celebrations and the joy therein despite difficult situations in life. He grants the reader snapshots of relationships and events during the celebrations and invites the reader into his family to share in those precious moments. He instills beautiful moral and character building events and shows us the heart of the man Mike Huckabee and his amazing family. It's a great read.

It was a delight

What a joy to read Mike Huckabee's book. I didn't know much about Mike Huckabee but now I find him a most interesting writing and person. The book touched my heart and brought back many memories of my childhood. It helped me recapture the true spirit of Christmas. A very enjoyable read. I have since purchased another book by Mr. Huckabee. This is highly recommended.

Great book with a telling Title

This is a good holiday read that gives interesting insight into Mike Huckabee's life and valuable reminders about what is most important in life.

A Simple Christmas

I haven't finished this book as yet, but what I have read, I really like. It is plain and easy to read and understand.

thought provoking

keeping christmas simple was the main theme inpirational

A Simple Christmas by Mike Huckabee

The book is so amusing as the author remembers all the idiocentricities of family and their interaction. We can all relate.

It is the way life was not many years ago but still the same family situations occur in this day.

A very touching novel and one I would recommend highly for a good light read.

Remembering What's Important

It's easy to forget the simple things that have made our past Christmases memorable. Governor Huckabee helps us remember those times by remembering his.

Christmas, more than gifts!

Ideal reading for this time of year. The author is definitely seen in a different light, other than a politician. His story can be associated with many personal experiences, and his conclusions encourage the reader to keep going - - life is great!

"A Simple Christmas" is a very good book.

I highly recommend "A Simple Christmas". Every chapter included one simple Christmas that Mike Huckabee enjoyed from the time he was five years old until he celebrated Christmas in the Governor's Mansion. He shares the most important things in life and in Christmas.

Wonderful book that highlights what Christmas used to be like ... and should be again

Mike Huckabee has done a great job reminding us of what the meaning of Christmas should be through a series of Christmas-related stories over the course of his life. The book is an easy read as it is broken up into a series of different stories, each of which can be read stand-alone. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the true meaning of Christmas.
