If You Could Change Your Life by Reversing Your Biggest Regrets, Sorrows and Mistakes…Would You?
#1 New York Times bestselling author and renowned radio and television host Glenn Beck delivers an instant holiday classic about boyhood memories, wrenching life lessons, and the true meaning of the gifts we give to one another in love.
We weren’t wealthy, we weren’t poor — we just were. We never wanted for anything, except maybe more time together….
When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. Although his life had gotten harder — and money tighter — since his father died and the family bakery closed…Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to have his dream bike gleaming beside their modest Christmas tree that magical morning.
What he got from her instead was a sweater. “A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater” that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.
Scarred deeply by the realization that kids don’t always get what they want, and too young to understand that he already owned life’s most valuable treasures, that Christmas morning was the beginning of Eddie’s dark and painful journey on the road to manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family — and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell — to help Eddie find his path through the storm clouds of life and finally see the real significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted by hand with love in her heart.
Based on a deeply personal true story, The Christmas Sweater is a warm and poignant tale of family, faith and forgiveness that offers us a glimpse of our own lives — while also making us question if we really know what’s most important in them.

I just returned from the show in Pittsburgh - Glenn was AWESOME! Be sure to see it - or at the very least - read the book. Glenn gave an EXCELLENT performance and gave so totally from his heart!
Best Answer I saw it and was BLOWN AWAY. I was a sobbing mess by the time it was over. Partially because I absolutely admire him for what he does, what he stands for and how he lives his life. I was so sorry for him when those tech problems happened, but was not at all surprised when he offered refunds. He's the real deal. A class act. It was a wonderfully intimate, emotional, and uplifting experience. I just hope he comes around with the show next year so my friends get a chance to see it.
I have to do a project on persuading people to read the Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck. Any ideas??
Best Answer You can point out that the American Nazi Party has several times, made Beck their "Man of the Year" for his outspoken hatred for blacks, Mexicans (by which he means all hispanics), Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Catholics, tall people, short women, children, dogs, yellow birds, but not white ones, cakes that end in 'e' , cartoons that do NOT have an elf in them ...
