A Christmas Prayer

By: Kimberla Lawson Roby

Narrated by: Maria Howell

Alexis Fletcher hasn't had a merry Christmas in five years-not since her mother passed away. Every December she remembers the joy her mother brought to everyone during the holiday season and feels the pain of her absence, even more so now that she and her sister are barely speaking. More than anything, Alexis wishes her family could be whole again.

However, with her wedding fast approaching, Alexis might just be ready to make some holiday memories with a family of her own. Alexis's fiance, Chase Dupont, is everything she ever dreamed of. He's kind, handsome, fully supportive of Alexis's career, and the CEO of a large company. But outside forces threaten to derail this happy couple from ever reaching the altar.

As tensions rise, a dramatic event causes Alexis to question everything. Will fate give her what she needs to finally embrace the season that has brought her so much pain? Will Alexis get her wish for a happy holiday? Or will her Christmas prayer go unanswered?

Loved it!!!

Very inspiring, great Christmas read, this book is way different from some of her books, but I really enjoyed it!

Great Christian read...

I enjoyed this book so much. It’s very hard to find great Christian authors. I want to read books that will challenge me to evaluate my walk with Christ. I can’t wait for the next book. Thank you KLR for keeping Christian books in the NOW... ❤️

This book was an easy read

I love all of Kim books. But I didn't like the ending of this one.

Must Read

A phenomenal story of forgiveness and love. It's always good to read a story about Christian faith. Must read.

Alexis ability to over come dark places and still trust God

I love this story while a short read it did exactly what it needed to do! Which was highlight how it’s so important to not focus on loss for it should make you better not bitter but focus on what the future holds. Being grateful for every moment life brings is what I learned through this story.
