A Chicago journalist finds himself in a small Texas town on Christmas Eve. Lonely and alone, he encounters old faces and new facts…a hand carved manger, a father''s guilt, a young girl''s faith. The trip into the past holds his key to the future, and a scarlet cross shows him the way home.

This Christmas treasure, formerly titled The Christmas Cross, is quickly becoming a Christmas classic. With more than 94,000 sold since its original release, this story was also a popular television movie for Christmas 2004.

The new jacketed hardcover novella format makes this the perfect companion to An Angel''s Story, Max Lucado''s other popular Christmas novella from WestBow Press.
