The Unfinished Gift is a wonderful book to read this holiday season. Ian Collins is an old man without his son. Patrick Collins is a young boy without his father. On his Christmas list are only three items. He wants the army to find his father. He wants to leave his grandfather’s house. And he wants the dusty wooden soldier in Grandfather’s attic–the one he is forbidden to touch.
Set at Christmastime in 1943, The Unfinished Gift is the engaging story of a family in need of forgiveness. With simple grace, it reminds us of the small things that affect powerful change in our hearts–a young boy’s prayers, a shoe box of love letters, and even a half-carved soldier, long forgotten. This nostalgic story of reconciliation will touch your heart.
This is a story of forgiveness and restoration. No matter what has happened or what sins have been committed God is always there offering you forgiveness. And through Christ’s forgiveness often times damaged relationships can be restored. This is a book that will touch your heart and stay with you long after the last page is turned. I am very excited to see there will be a sequel coming out next year. This is Dan Walsh’s debut novel and I look forward to reading many more books from him. I am also excited to read he is a fellow Daytona Beach Floridian (I am always excited to learn about new authors in my area of town).
The Unfinished Gift by Dan Walsh can be purchased here.
