My Review
THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR was a book full of inspirational messages for the Christmas season, festive songs, and treats and gift ideas for others for each of the 31 days in December. It is Christian, non-denominational-based, making it universally relevant to most Christians. It is also simply formatted, with messages that share important thoughts in a few short paragraphs. Overall, a good book to inspire and remind the reader of the importance of the season.
I would have liked a little more design, like some artistry added for the songs or crafts so that it broke up the text more. An index for the songs and recipes and projects also would come in handy so that they can easily be found. Otherwise, the daily message is short and sweet as well as scripturally based with an accompanying song and either a "Pamper the One You Love!" or a "Feed the One You Love!" There are some really sweet recipes and ideas.
In the end, was it what I wished for? Christians who are looking for daily inspirational messages and some ideas for blessing others will enjoy this book.
