About this listen
In this thoroughly contemporary holiday story, a father lets his children choose the family Christmas tree. To his surprise, the kids pick one that is crooked. As he tries one thing after another to make the tree look right, he rediscovers the power of God's love. He begins to understand Christmas in a new way, particularly when his family decorates their tree and crown it with a star, never even noticing the crookedness he spent hours in the garage struggling to hide. The tender and laugh-out-loud narrative of real-life relationships propels the reader through the most un-generic Christmas story. This upbeat and comedic treasure refreshes the Christmas message of love and faith.
Critic Reviews
"From shame to shopping, tinsel to the Trinity, Damian Chandler weaves together the deep truths of theology and the trappings of every family's Christmas, and he does it with prose that shines like a Christmas star.

"This story of the crooked Christmas tree is heartwarming and life changing. Damian writes with the such beauty and profundity that the story of Christ and His love should never be the same for anyone who reads this insightful book.
