Reviews

After you read all five chapters of 'America's Favorite Holidays' you will not only be more reflective, you will be poised to win the trivia contest at all of your holiday parties this year and beyond. -- Hilary Levey Friedman Providence Journal


This slender book, which is adorned with whimsical drawings of Cupid and Santa Claus, is deceptively thought-provoking. Bruce David Forbes, a professor of religious studies, writes in a style that is more confessional than that of the typical academic... He excels in providing entertaining tidbits... The book is presented as light and entertaining, and Forbes readily delivers on this promise. -- Bruce David Forbes TLS After you read all five chapters of 'America's Favorite Holidays' you will not only be more reflective, you will be poised to win the trivia contest at all of your holiday parties this year and beyond. -- Hilary Levey Friedman Providence Journal
