The Christmas Spirit

A Novel

De: Debbie Macomber

Narrado por: Eliza Foss

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two lifelong friends decide to trade places the week before Christmas and end up finding love along the way in this delightful novel from the queen of holiday stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Peter Armstrong and Hank Colfax are best friends, but their lives couldn’t be more different. Peter, the local pastor who is dedicated to his community, spending time visiting the flock, attending meetings, and, with the holiday season approaching, preparing for the Christmas service and live nativity. As a bartender, Hank serves a much different customer base at his family-owned tavern, including a handful of lonely regulars and the local biker gang.

When Peter scoffs that Hank has it easy compared to him, the two decide to switch jobs until Christmas Eve. To their surprise, the responsibilities of a bartender and a pastor are similar, but taking on the other’s work is more difficult than either Peter or Hank expected. As the two begin to see each other in a new light—and each discovers a new love to cherish—their lives are forever changed.

In The Christmas Spirit, Debbie Macomber celebrates the true meaning of the holidays and the inclusive community spirit that binds us all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“With almost all of Debbie Macomber’s novels, the reader is not only given a captivating story, but also a lesson in life.”—New York Journal of Books

“Bestseller and Hallmark Channel stalwart Macomber (Dear Santa) does it again with a candy cane-sweet holiday romance about two friends who swap lives for a week before Christmas. . . . An eclectic supporting cast—including cadres of strippers and bikers—and a comically disastrous climactic Christmas Eve church service make the narrative shine bright. It’s exactly what readers want from a Macomber holiday outing.”—Publishers Weekly

“This light, sweet Christmas novel is perfect for someone looking for a chaste love story with a happy ending.”—Booklist

Merry Christmas story

What a fun tale of love, church, friendship, different careers and all tied up with a big bow in the end.

The Christmas Story

Wonderful as usual from Debbie’s books. Could not put it down!!! Loved the double storyline

The Christmas Spirit

This is one of the best stories that I have ever read. The last chapter and the epilogue was the best to me as a mother and a grandma I see a little bit in May in the last chapter of the book this year, 2023. I hope to change some things, everybody has a past everybody is different. My family is going to come together in a different way I hope and pray.

Lovely

Just the right happy story before Christmas that will just make you believe. I like "let go, and let God" best. Very positive.
