- ABOUT THE AUTHOR
When Richard Paul Evans sat down to write The Christmas Box, he never imagined his book would become a number one bestseller. The quiet story of parental love and the true meaning of Christmas made history when it became simultaneously the number one hardcover and paperback book in the nation. Since then, he has written twelve consecutive New York Times best-sellers. He is one of the few authors in history to have hit both the fiction and nonfiction best-seller lists and has won several awards for his books, including the 1998 American Mothers Book Award, two first-place Storytelling World Awards, and the 2005 Romantic Times Best Women’s Novel of the Year Award.
Four of Evans’s books have been made into major television productions, starring such acclaimed actors as Maureen O’Hara, James Earl Jones, Richard Thomas, Ellen Burstyn, Naomi Watts, Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Lloyd, and Rob Lowe.
During the spring of 1997, Evans founded The Christmas Box House International, an organization devoted to building shelters and providing services for abused and neglected children. Such shelters are operational in Moab, Vernal, Ogden, and Salt Lake City, Utah. To date Christmas Box House facilities have served more than twenty thousand children. In addition, his book The Sunflower was the motivating factor in the creation of The Sunflower Orphanage in Peru. Evans was awarded the Volunteers of America National Empathy Award and the Washington Times Humanitarian of the Century Award. As an acclaimed speaker, Evans has shared the podium with such notable personalities as President George W. Bush, President George H. W. and Barbara Bush, former British Prime Minister John Major, Ron Howard, Elizabeth Dole, Deepak Chopra, Steve Allen, and Bob Hope. Evans has been featured on the Today show, The Glenn Beck Show, CNN, CSPAN, and Entertainment Tonight, as well as in Time, Newsweek, People, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Good Housekeeping, USA Today, TV Guide, Reader’s Digest, and Family Circle. Evans lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with his wife, Keri, and their five children.
