7 Days of Christmas

The Season of Generosity

By: Jen Hatmaker

Narrated by: Rebecca Gallagher

Inspired by and adapted from her breakout book 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess, 7 Days of Christmas takes Hatmaker's social experiments in seven key areas - food, clothes, spending, media, possessions, waste, stress - and turns them into thoughtful and practical generosity that captures the true spirit of Christmas.

7 Days of Christmas covers seven days during the Christmas season to practice both generosity and restraint in the areas related to the book. It will contain snippets of Jen’s journey throughout to offer insight, humor, ideas, facts, and encouragement for the listener to consider while embracing this change, if only for 24 hours.

We’ll see the reasons why each area is important to Jen and also applicable to most American families. We’ll also see how that particular area of excess impacts the family unit, the community, and the world at large - complete with ideas on how to reduce thoughtless consumption and consider other practices that lead to less stuff but more joy.

She does it again

This book is a condensed version of her other book, Seven, with a Christmas twist. It’s everything you need to hear as you head into the holiday season. It’s a reminder of all the things that are important to you, and all the things you learned from Seven, to help make your Christmas as joyous and Christ centered as possible.

Buy the book and read it yourself, narration terrible!

The book is a nice light reminder to be Christly at Christmas and I enjoyed the content for the most part... But being a fan of Jen Hatmaker I was fully expecting her to narrate. This other woman sounds like everything she’s saying is a question and it’s really annoying. Had to stop several times and restart because my mind kept wandering to why they would select this narrator. Sorry if that makes me a grump, I should have listened to a snippet first, but I listen to her books all of the time and it’s always her.

stick to the print version

I LOVE Jen Hatmaker, but this audiobook was not for me. I can imagine it'd be infinitely better if Jen has narrated it herself. I'm going to return and purchase the hardcover, as I think there's some worthwhile content in those pages. But honestly, if you're like me and you already read 7, you could pass on this one and not be missing much.

Great content; disappointing performance

Loved this book. Great review of Jen Hatmaker’s “7” and super relevant when considered around Christmas. I just wish Jen had narrated this quick read.
