Glad Tidings: A Flash Fiction Advent Calendar Kindle Edition

by Angie Thompson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
Twenty-five short reads inspired by themes from the Christmas story


Celebrate the true spirit of the season with this collection of five-minute holiday stories. Perfect to pair with your morning coffee or binge-read while curled up with a favorite blanket on a snowy afternoon!


From a stately mansion to a rough barn, from a cheerful fireside to a lonely mountain road, from a chaotic church pageant to the grim aftermath of war, no heart is without its burden. But no trouble is too deep to be touched by the light of love and the warmth of Christmas.

    Wonderful examples and lessons leading up to Christmas. The stories were inspiring. There were times when I wanted the chapters to keep going. I am planning on making this a yearly advent read. I am thinking about re-reading this before Easter as well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Christmas Flash Fiction Anthology for Advent
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2024
    This was a Good Christmas Flash Fiction Anthology for Advent. Each day's story most often left me wondering, "what's next?" However, the sweet little stories were a nice addition to this, 2024 Christmas season. I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, but it did not in any way affect my review. All opinions are my own.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Christmas
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022
    First read of 2022 and I couldn't be more pleased :)

    Normally I would review each story individually but since they are so short and I would be constantly repeating myself with phrases such as "a real tear-jerker" or "highly impressed", I'm going to sum them all up into one review.

    Despite being an advent calendar, Glad Tidings is not and should not be limited to just the Christmas season. Do all the stories take place during this time and is there a general Christmassy feel to each one? Yes, but the messages are tried and true year round. The Gospel is shared, God is glorified, and childlike faith shines in just about every story. Real life issues are brought to the surface such as grief, sickness, loneliness, pride... and each of them are told and dealt with in such a way that made me either grin from ear to ear or set me on the verge of tears.

    My only regret was that I didn't read a story a day. I wish I had been able to.

    I can't say enough good things about this book. It truly amazes me how powerful and meaningful this was, despite the length. Some stories were only three pages long! I highly recommend this to anyone who needs an inspiring pick-me-up. You won't regret it. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more by this author.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2023
    Collection of sweet flash fiction! I love how Angie switched writing styles for each story. Most of the stories and characters never really pulled me in, however. But I appreciated how each story was complete on its own.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2022
    This was a really fun collection and idea. A short story for each day leading up to Christmas. Some were better than others, but all of them were well-written and held wonderful truths.
