LOST DECEMBER
LOST DECEMBER
BY RICHARD PAUL EVANS
ABOUT THE BOOK:
From one of America’s most beloved storytellers comes his most spiritual book since The Christmas Box.
“It has been said that sometimes the greatest hope in our lives is just a second chance to do what we should have done right in the first place. This is the story of my second chance.” —Prologue of Lost December
When Luke Crisp graduates from business school, his father, CEO and co-founder of Fortune 500 Crisp’s Copy Centers, is ready to share some good news: he wants to turn the family business over to his son. But Luke has other plans. Taking control of his trust fund, Luke leaves home to pursue a life of reckless indulgence.
But when his funds run out, so do his friends. Humbled, alone, and too ashamed to ask his father for help, Luke secretly takes a lowly job at one of his father’s copy centers. There he falls in love with a struggling single mother and begins to understand the greatest source of personal joy.
Lost December is Richard Paul Evans’s modernday holiday version of the biblical story of the prodigal son, a powerful tale of redemption, hope, and the true meaning of love.

I can't think of better book to post for Christmas Eve. I am very interested in this book and also this author. A modern day prodigal son has to be interesting. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
