I confess that this is my first Cape Light book. I chose it because I was in the mood for a holiday story and thought this one sounded good. I am very happy I made this choice!
I don't want to write any spoilers, but I have to say that I loved the way the church rallied around its minister after his heart attack. While there is a central religious theme, it is fitting, I think, for both the story and the season. I didn't find it preachy, just part of the overall story. I found Reverend Ben, his wife and the substitute minister to be very well developed characters. One of my favorite parts of the book is when the church members and the substitute pastor are making sandwiches for the community children. When I finished the book, I really wished I was a member of a church like the one in this book. There's just such a sense of community and love in the story that touched me deeply. It reminded me that community, goodwill toward other people and giving to those in need are truly what the holidays are about.
Overall, I really loved Christmas Treasures and think I'll add reading it to my holiday traditions. I will also go back and start with the beginning of the Cape Light series. I'm happy to run across this treasure and know that there are more of them in store for me. Highly recommend this book for holiday reading!
