The Doctor's Christmas

GIVEAWAY

PERRY, MARTA
THE DOCTOR'S CHRISTMAS

God could not have chosen a worse time to send Dr. Grant Hardesty to Button Gap. Three abandoned children were depending on Maggie Davis's clandestine care until their mother returned. Maggie didn't think she could trust the by-the-book doctor with her secret. Until she got a glimpse into his soul...and God's mysterious ways became as clear as a starry night.

Maggie knew her trust was well placed as this once-aloof doctor opened his heart to the children...and her. But as Grant's time in Button Gap ended, she prayed for one more miracle. Could God make this man who seemed to have everything recognize that it all meant nothing without Maggie's love?

My Review:

I had a hankering for holiday reading plus I wanted to review Christmas books early enough that the giveaways would reach their destination before Christmas so I ordered some early Christmas reads online at Harelquin. Unbeknownst to me, all three books that I ordered are re-releases of previously published material. That's fine by me since I wasn't reading Love Inspired 5+ years ago, but some of you might have been so I'm giving fair warning.

The Doctor's Christmas was originally published in 2003 and it was interesting to see how the line has changed over the years. There's more uninhibited sharing of the gospel in these earlier stories which I happen to love. And this book has all the necessary ingredients to tug at your heartstrings and leave you humming Christmas Carols long after you close the book. In fact it would make an awesome movie. Tight plot, children in peril, lost soul begging to be found, a close-knit community with some interesting characters and a sweet love story all wrapped up with a Christmas miracle. Honestly, a Christmas read can't get any better then this!
