Book Review: Hope in a Bleak Future
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this is a children's book that will take most adults only minutes to read, THE DRUMMER BOY has a lot to offer.
As the title suggests (and the smaller print states), this is a Christmas tale. It takes place in a not-too-distant future America, where Christmas has been outlawed and replaced by the Holiday. Daniel, a young boy who has never heard of Christmas, finds an old drum with a poem and a story inside. What follows will touch the hearts of Christian readers and gently prod our consciences, reminding us that each one of us has a part to play and the only qualification is willingness.
This book is an excellent choice for Christmas morning reading, when the family is gathered together around the fireplace and you want that one small reminder about the real reason we celebrate Christmas.
Summary of The Drummer Boy: A Christmas Tale
A Christmas tale with a modern twist.
We all love singing the Christmas carol "The Little Drummer Boy." Our hearts swell as the poor boy offers his best, meager gift to the Baby in the manger, and we smile in joy as the infant Lord graciously smiles His thanks. Now Ted Dekker brings a modern twist to this beloved song of hope, acceptance, and joy. This modern fable takes place in a large city where Christmas has been banned and replaced by a holiday that celebrates prosperity. All Christmas songs are also banned.
