Christmas Treasures
I liked all of the series of books by these authors. They were all heartwarming and you either love the characters or love to not like them. Each story incorporated characters from the series and I would advise any reader to acquire the list and read these in order of when they were written. Very enjoyable and will put you in the holiday spirit!

Heartwarming Christmas story
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!

Another Great Book
Another great book in the series. Always a pleasure to give and receive. The nicest thing about the way the books are written is that you can start with the last book and still know what has happened prior by the way it is written. I own the whole series in hard back and although I could have down loaded it to my Kindle books I collect I want to hold when I read them. I also collect the Angel Island series and am waiting some what patiently for the next book in that series...

A treasure of a Christmas story
Thomas Kinkade & Katherine Spencer have added a 12th volume to their Cape Light series -- Christmas Treasures. This book is one of my favorites in the series.Reverend Ben is questioning how much longer he might be able to keep up with the pace of activities involved in his position, and he and his wife Carolyn often dream about having the time for tropical vacations and other travels. When he suffers a heart attack on a Sunday morning shortly before Christmas, it looks like he might be forced to make immediate decisions about whether to continue his ministry.Regina and Richard Rowan are struggling to hold their family together through the Christmas season for the sake of their kids. When Regina inherits a broken-down house from a distant relative she has never met, the family has a place to spend the holidays, with plans to fix up the property and sell it before their marriage dissolves. As they settle into their temporary home in Cape Light, new hope begins to flicker in what might be described as a series of Christmas miracles.Some of the Cape Light books had seemed to me to become a little stale. Christmas Treasures, with some new characters and a very enjoyable story line, added a new sense of life to the charming little town. I would be glad to see more in this series.

good book
It's been quite a while since I read this but it was a great book. Follows the path of other cape light books. Since Thomas Kinkade passed, I'm pretty sure that this is the last, so enjoy it.

A lovely story.
This book, in the Cape Light series, has another great story with wonderful characters, each with their own situations. The story is filled with hope and love as each one finds support and help from others in Cape Light. You wlll be looking forward to the next book in the series after reading this one.
