Paul Miracle

In 1994, Richard Paul Evans, then an unknown writer, self-published a short book entitled The Christmas Box. That book went on to become an international bestseller, selling more than seven million copies and touching the lives of many more people along the way.

The Christmas Box Miracle is the story behind the book that has become a Christmas classic: how a man writes and publishes a book which helps grieving people to heal and lost souls to find their way home. It is Evans's story: his own spiritual journey and stories of people he encountered along the way -- miraculous stories of healing and divinity that often defy explanation.

In sharing the story behind The Christmas Box, Richard Paul Evans has given us a story of miracles, hope and healing for all seasons.

Richard Paul Evans is the bestselling author of The Christmas Box trilogy and The Locket trilogy, as well as the children's books The Dance; The Christmas Candle, which received the 1998 American Mothers' Book Award; The Spyglass, which received the Storytelling World Award; and The Tower. There are currently more than eleven million copies of his books in print. All proceeds from Evans's books for children go to the Christmas Box House International, an organization that he founded, dedicated to building shelters and providing services for abused children. Evans lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife, Keri, and their five children. He is currently working on his next book.
