What a gift!

What a gift! "The Package" succinctly, yet profoundly chronicles a path toward redemption, reconciliation, recreation and understanding the depths of a father - and THE Father's - wisdom, patience, mercy and love. Mary (Lebanon, Ohio)

Awsome- A message of Hope and a Celebration of Life

My husband brought this book home for me to read and what a gift! I read "The Package" in two days and have never gotten so much back from a book. The message and symbolism of life was truely inspirational. I laughed and cried, I became a part of the story. My mom passed away in July and because of "The Package" I now have hope that I can give a "package" to my children. I can now celebrate the legacy that was left to me...

Hope for the future

"The Package" WOW I'm not sure I can even put into words what this book means to me. From the 1st chapter this book had me hooked. I couldn't put it down. Glenn Crabtree's "The Package" is the most amazing read, it touches you to the very core of your soul, and I found myself relating to the characters and their struggles. I lost my mother 11years ago and my son Payton who was 4 ½ months old last December. I have 3 older...

Father's Love

This book touched me down into the marrow of my being. As a Father of two distant daughters, I know about the longing for peace and reconciliation in my family. In "The Package", Mr. Crabtree has an uncanny understanding of family dynamics, sibling rivalry, and the tragic events that separate and harden us. He takes us deep into the heart of a dying Father whose trust and dependence on God is so complete and uncompromising...

great book, have a tissue handy

Saw this play in Cincinnati and loved it. The book is just as great as the play with some new twists. Buying and sharing for gifts for the holiday. Have a tissue handy, while reading the book.
