More About This Book

Overview

The New York Times bestseller by the former governor and presidential candidate-an instant classic, reissued for 2010.

Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, overindulging, and stress. But according to Mike Huckabee, that was never God's intention. Going back to the Nativity, Christmas is supposed to be about simple things: faith, love, family, and hope. The hard part, in today's crazy world, is remembering that those simple things are the most precious.

Huckabee recounts twelve Christmas memories that range from his childhood in Arkansas to his years as a young husband and father to his time as a governor and then a presidential candidate. These true stories will help you smile, take a deep breath, and maybe slow down your own holiday treadmill.

For instance, as kids, Mike and his sister would sneak open their gifts before Christmas, play with them, then rewrap them so their parents wouldn't notice. The plan worked great until one Christmas when young Mike unwrapped a brand-new football...that was covered in mud. That led to a powerful lesson about patience and a reminder that the best Christmases are the simple ones.

    what christmas really means

    "a simple christmas" has 12 simple inspirational stories from 2012 presidential candidate mike huckabees life as a son and a father and a pastor. these are some of the most special times that governor mike huckabee has shared his faith during the greatest season whean the most wonderful miracles have happened such as his wife over coming cancer also there are some humorous stories in here also. the two things I like most about this book is they are all from mike huckabees life and this book brings back the true meaning of christmas which seems to be forgoten during the holidays. great gift idea for friends and family or a birthday

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gives you a warm Christmas feeling

    Mike Huckabee is just a regular guy working for the Lord. The story of a regular guy dealing with situations we all face. We found this to be a really fascinating story. Music lovers would find it especially good. A great autobiography of Mr Huckabee's Christmas experiences. Hearwarming. Makes you laugh and cry.

    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.

    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.
