The Book Nook: A Christmas Carol

The Book Nook: A Christmas Carol  The Book Nook series is dedicated to discussing books that matter. We think Christians have some reading to do if they want to stay informed and effective. The books we talk about, both fact and fiction, are important for helping us all think better and inspire our imaginations.  In this month's episode we discuss the classic Christmas ghost story by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. Everyone knows the greedy, grumpy Scrooge, but have they really caught all the wonderful lessons of this 150 year old treasure? Why did Dickens need Scrooge to encounter ghosts for Christmas? Why did the ghosts come from the past, present, and future? What does this book teach us about the true meaning of Christmas? How can we keep Christmas well? Is this really a Christian story at all? We tackle these tough questions and celebrate this literary gift that keeps on giving.
