CHRISTMAS JOURNEY is a wonderful, heartwarming story. A story that carries a clear message for today's fast-paced lifestyle. Charles and Judith Montgomery have everything -- success, money, and the million dollar family - one boy and one girl. But Charles, Judith, and their children are living a nightmare. They are running on the treadmill of modern life. Living together in a family home, living apart as a family. A family that is too busy, too stressed, and too filled with conflict. Charles Montgomery did not reach the top of his profession without insight and he has enough insight to know his family is presently falling apart. He must do something. He elects to give his family an old-fashioned Christmas, a Christmas in the mountains, a Christmas together. What he gives them is a disaster, for the Montgomery family needs far more than a bandage to hold it together. What they need is an example of wholesome values and love. What they acquire is the Walker family. The Walkers, a ragtag crew of five, stranded and asking for help. The Walkers, a family who love and respect each other. The Walkers, a family with nothing, yet a family with everything. A sudden and unforeseen blizzard forces the two families together, to live and to learn about each other. To fend without the convenience of modern amenities. To provide, to survive, and to support each other. An uncomfortable situation? Yes. An enlightening situation? Oh, YES. Rexanne Becnel writes a gem of a message. This is an uncomfortable read, for it hits very close to home; still it is a lovely story and it is a very worthy read.

Read this book. Read this book even if you don't like Becnel's others, even (perhaps especially) if you disliked her other Christmas one. Read this book if your Christmas spirit needs some major help.This is the story of the Montgomery family, outwardly successful, but desperately unhappy. It's the story of the Christmas they spend stranded with the Walkers--a family whose lack of material success can't obscure the love and joy they've found. And it's the story of how this very special family helps the Montgomerys rediscover the very real blessings they had almost lost.Read this book. I can hardly say it enough.
