Book Reviews of Gideon's Gift (The Red Gloves Collection #1)
Book Review: Lovely, touching book
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! I read it and really enjoyed it. It's about faith and hope and redmeption. It's very moving and touching. It's a great story, just like "The Ultimate Gift." It's very sweet. It made me cry on some pages, and it made me feel inspired. I had goosebumps on my skin from reading the sad chapters. Gideon is a wise, beautiful little girl who is very sick and is loving and giving. No matter how much pain she goes through, she can still be kind and nice to other people. And loving. She gives a old homeless man who isn't very nice to her a gift for Christmas. At first he dismisses her, but in the end when he sees what she gave him he is sorry for his sin and repents. He even saves her life. Gideon gave him hope, something he hadn't seen in many years and it changed him. Her only wish was for him to believe in God again, to believe in anything worth believing in and to find faith and happiness again. Her wish is granted. Gideon is nice to strangers who make her cry, who make her feel sick when she already in remission. She is patient and kind and sweet and a angel. She finds the good in others, instead of the negative. She is worried about her parents more then herself. The old man is homeless, selfish and rude. He hasn't believed in anything since his wife and daughter died. He thinks nothing of greater things, like why we're here on this earth and what life is really truly about. He is changed by one little girl, who is selfless and kind and earns enough money to buy him a little gift which changes him. Gideon's illness is sad, and it makes me cry to think such a sweet, beautiful person has to endure such pain. She's a gorgeous person with a fabulous personaity. When she bleds or has to deal with needles or hurt, it makes me sad because she has such faith for such a little person. Gideon follows Jesus's exmaple of helping others and putting other's needs before our own. This book made me realize how powerful love and truth are. Jesus didn't come to earth to make people selfish and mean, he came to earth to show people the way and truth and the light. He came to help people understand what is truly important in life and what it means to live life to the fullest and to show people love. Gideon knows this very well, and believes in God and loves him and wants to be more like him. This book is powerful, moving and sweet. A perfect book for adults and children and anyone who needs to understand what love and giving really is.
