My Review:
"The Unannounced Christmas Visitor" by Patrick Higgins is without a doubt my favorite best fictional book about Christmas and the power of God's love that I have read this year.

The author uses the Biblical references throughout the story in a way that you get the Gospel but it doesn't feel like you are being preached at. When Enoch, an angel disguised as a homeless person, asks characters questions such as "What are you sowing that you don't want to reap" it makes this reader stop and ask herself the same questions. There are other such questions in this story.

This story is about a married man who finds himself dissatisfied with life and his job and his marriage is suffering as well as his children. It is also about helping homeless people and finding out what real Christianity is. This story was inspired in part by the Christian feeding ministry of Jesus Loves You, Love Him Back.

This story isn't true but I believe it is happening everywhere, well all but Enoch being disguised as an homeless man. But, then again maybe that is true because this story was written using Hebrews 13:2, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it,” as the plot line.

This story will give you a new awareness of what living the Christian life really is and make you more aware of what homeless people go through.

At the start of the story, a homeless man is ushered out of his seat in the front pew of the church just because of his appearance, thus bringing to the story the Scripture , John 2: 2-4 "Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3 If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,”but say to the poor man “You must stand,” or, “Sit at my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?…

I recommend  "The Unannounced Christmas Visitor" by Patrick Higgins to any reader who enjoys stories of Christmas or just feel good stories and stories of forgiveness and personal growth. I also recommend this book to any Christian who wants to reexamine themselves. Yes, I know the Bible is the best book to reexamine yourself but this book clearly points the way to verses to lead you in that search.   

And I say this book is a good one to read anytime of the year, not just at  Christmas.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

    Yeah, I sometimes wonder what I would do if a homeless person entered our church. What would my reaction be?
