Read The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck and join us at 50 North, 339 E. Melrose, for a great discussion! When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. He knew money had been tight since his father died, but Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to afford that dream bike.
What he got from her instead was a sweater. A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.
Scarred deeply by the fateful events that transpired that day, Eddie begins a dark and painful journey toward manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his familyand the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russellto help Eddie find his lifes path and finally understand the significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted with love.
