Hearing the Gospel Through Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol"

This book is a Christian devotional that uses A Christmas Carol as a tool to teach the ancient Advent lessons of Hope, Faith, Peace, Love and Joy. Each week's devotion begins with a section from A Christmas Carol which dramatizes the Advent Lesson and isfollowed with a scriptural Advent lesson from the Church of England s Book of Prayer. As we travel through Ebenezer's redemptive healing journey, readers are invited to examine how Christ is born in their past, present and future. This devotional is for Christians to use as private and family devotions to prepare themselves for the Advent season. -- back cover.
