    Is it the candle itself that creates the miracle or the fact that the one who's given the candle prays and has faith that God will act? For many years, the villagers have felt the candle touched by an angel was necessary for the miracle. Now they are all vying for the one candle the angel touches every 25 years. The chandler is torn about who should receive it. A stumble means no way of knowing which candle is the correct one. Yet all who received a candle report blessings and the new reverend, who was skeptical of the candle's tale, is even convinced.

    This short novel tells the story of a candlemaker who recieves a visit from an angel. He blesses one of the candlemaker's candles and then disappears. The candlemaker gives the blessed candle to a struggling neighbor and tells him to light the candle and pray about his problems. The neighbor does so and is miraculously relieved of his burdens. So begins a tradition that occurs in the village every so many years, until one year when a new preacher arrives to replace the previous one. This new preacher is skeptical of the candle story, and even though it is the year when the angel is supposed to bless a new candle, refuses to sanction the practice. For what happens next you'll have to read the book.Lucado is a very descriptive writer, as you may know from his non-fiction, and this novella has a rich sweet feeling. You feel like you are there, and of course there is a lot of heart felt emotion in the story pulling at your heartstrings. Pick this up when you are in a sentimental mood for a good story--whether it's Christmas or not.

    The first chapter was intriguing and hopeful. Read half the book and just couldn't stay with it.

    The story pulled me in for the first chapter but became rather dull until about the end of the book. Luckily it was a quick read and had a happy ending. The ending made me want to read another one of Max Lucado's angel books. I would recommend this Christmas story if you enjoy happy endings and believe in the power of forgivness and the promise of miracles.
