Synopsis

"No importa la razón, el hecho es que cada Navidad que pasa, descubro que la historia de la Caja de Navidad se cuenta cada vez menos y se necesita cada vez más. Por lo tanto la escribo ahora, para que las futures generaciones la tomen o la dejen según les plazca. Por lo que a mi respecta, creo en ella. Dispués de todo, se trata de mi propia historia."

Así empieza El Regalo de Navidad, la tierna historia de una viuda, y la joven familia que se muda con ella. Juntos descubren el primer don de la Navidad y aprenden a conocer el verdadero significado de ella. El Regalo de Navidad es una historia de Navidad única en su género.

About Richard Paul Evans

Showing great tenacity, American author, Richard Paul Evans, grew up in Murray City, Utah, and when he decided to write and publish a book, he could not find a willing publisher, so he self-published. That book was entitled, The Christmas Box. He had been working full time as an advertising executive, when he decided to write a Christmas story for his children. He distributed his book to area bookstores, and it became a huge local success.

The following year, The Christmas Box became the #2 bestseller on the New York Times list. That distinction led to a bidding war among publishers (who originally had no interest). Simon and Schuster won the bidding with their advance payment of $4.2 million! They released the book in hardcover in 1995, and it became the first book to be NYT #1 bestseller in both hard cover and paperback.

In 1995, The Christmas Box was made into a movie for television, starring Richard Thomas and Maureen O'Hara. In 1996 his book, Timepiece, was also made into a television movie starring Naomi Watts, James Earl Jones, and Ellen Burstyn. Other books adapted for movies were, The Locket, A Perfect Day, The Mistletoe Promise, and The Mistletoe Inn.

Evans is known for his conservative Christian themes appealing to family values, and for his children's books. He also founded Christmas Box House, Int'l that helps abused and neglected children, with a network of shelters and services. Another group was established to help men who have feelings of isolation caused by the "toxic masculinity" movement by some women. This group is called Tribe of Kyngs. Evans lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with his wife, five children, and one grandchild.

For those of you who might be familiar with the history of this book, that should come as no surprise. Released in 1995, this sho......more

Goodreads review by Cindi (Utah Mom’s Life) on December 13, 2011

I read The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans yesterday afternoon. The best thing about it was that it was short. I feel a little like Elaine from Seinfeld when she hated the highly acclaimed "English Patient". There must be something wrong with me. That's the only explanation, right? Don't get me w......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on November 22, 2016

The Christmas Box is a moving story about the meaning of Christmas. In this tale, it is children and the time parents spend with their children. Time can never be replaced, and time itself is truly the most meaningful and memorable gift of all. This story definitely urges the reader to reexamine pri......more
