The Unannounced Christmas Visitor

About the Book

Book: The Unannounced Christmas Visitor
Author: Patrick Higgins
Genre: Christian fiction/Christmas
Release Date: November 18, 2014
What if angels really did come from the most unlikely of places? That’s exactly what happens in this heartwarming story, set in a homeless community in Anywhere USA. Sent to Planet Earth by his Maker, disguised as a homeless person, Enoch was on a mission: to rescue a man whose life was slowly but steadily spiraling out of control
Inspired by Hebrews 13:2, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it,” this story will stir your soul like never before, guaranteed! 2016 IPA (INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHER AWARDS) GOLD MEDAL AWARD WINNER.
My thoughts:  THE UNANNOUNCED CHRISTMAS VISITOR is a story about an angel coming to earth as a homeless man, to rescue a man who was in spiritual danger.  

Okay, first the writing.  The print (in the print copy) is very small and hard to read.  The author was in everyone's  point of view and it switched without warning, making it hard to read. The book was not well edited and there are spelling errors.  And it is very preachy which is skim-inducing.

That said the message is very good and all Christians need to read it. Especially the main underlying message in the first part of the book.  All who come to Christ are accepted. Even if they are not rich and showy. Even if they are raggy and not so well off.  With so many churches shunning those who are not like them (my husband served as pastor in one!) they are doing more harm than good and need to accept all people as being loved by God -- even those who the important people would shun. 

Theologically I am not going to argue any points. Some could be debated both ways with scripture. I have my opinions, but you  may disagree, and we both could use scripture to prove our stance. 

The writing is not good, the message is.  Read this book.  And welcome that next visitor to your church who doesn't quite seem to fit.
