Every once in a while, I read a book and I finish it not knowing who the intended audience was supposed to be. The premise of The Boy Who Cried Christmas is best fit for a children’s book—a middle-grade reader, at most—but the book’s length and some of its content make it seem directed at an adult audience. And that’s really only the start of the problems I had with this book.Logan is a self-entitled, consumeristic nine-year-old who gets transported via angel back to ancient Israel at the time o...

From the blurb: "9-year-old Logan Ailshie, the only son of well-to-do parents, was used to getting his way, especially during the holidays. For him, Christmas wasn’t just about making a list, but making sure it was long enough. He also had a reputation for embellishing the truth. That is until a chance meeting with an angel on the streets of Manhattan ends with a journey back in time to the birthplace of Christianity.""The Boy Who Cried Christmas" by Dennis Bailey, joyfully is one of the best Ch...

If you look at the title of this book, along with artwork displayed on the cover, you will draw the conclusion that this book was written for children. After all, the phrase “The boy who cried Christmas” harkens back to the old adage, “The boy who cried wolf,” a traditional folk tale intended to teach children not to lie. The cover of this book shows a modern-day boy looking over the historic town of Bethlehem- the bright star in the sky telling us that this is about the Nativity of Christ. This...

I have read many Christmas stories, The Boy who Cried Christmas, by far is the best Christmas story ever. A nine year old child who believed receiving gifts under the tree was the reason for Christmas. While shopping with his mother he gives his fast food to a homeless vet, not knowing this vet will forever change his life. The vet, who is a angel appears to Logan in his bedroom telling him he will show him the true meaning of Christmas. This is where Logan’s journey begins. Logan, will be witne...

This is a combination of many things, a well-to-do family including a step-father/husband, a mother/wife, and her son, Logan. A Christmas story that also includes the visitation of an angel - although not your typical angel all in white with wings, a travel back in time to shortly before the birth of Jesus, as well as a man who is grieving the loss of his deceased wife, who passed on a previous Christmas, and another man who is basically an atheist-terrorist against religion - or at least the Ch...

This is such a beautiful novel. Heart-warming, moving with a touch of the supernatural. A great novel to start your Christmas reading.

Every now and then I enjoy a good time travel story. I enjoyed this one as much as any other I’ve ever read. It’s about a spoiled nine-year-old boy named Logan who is looking forward to a multitude of Christmas gifts from his well off stepfather who gives him everything except his time. While shopping for Christmas gifts with his mother at the mall, Logan is approached by a poor hungry veteran who asks for food. In an uncharacteristic move, Logan gives the man his lunch. Shortly thereafter Logan...

This book was sooooo different than any book I've read. It kept my attention because I could not guess what would happen next. Overall, it has a great premise and message. Thank you, Yvonne, for suggesting it to me <3

Wonderful story of redemption

We follow the take of a young boy called by God to share the message of Jesus with a world losing its battle against cynicism and unbelief, and an FBI agent in his own crisis of faith. While not accurate in its portrayal of angels, still a powerful tale of redemption. (Spoiler in here: I do wish he would have taken his mom the second time!)

Time travel is not my normal genre, but I rather enjoyed this charming Christmas story.
