God Bless Us, Every OneEncountering Christ in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas CarolBy Michael HoyReflect on passages from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in a way that ties the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge to our journey of faith. In the same way that Scrooge moves from crusty curmudgeon to kindhearted gentleman, revealed most clearly in his change of heart toward Tiny Tim, so we move from enemies of God to friends through the birth of the Lord Jesus, who came to save us from our past and present that we might be blessed in all our future days. 32 pages • 5⅜" x 8⅜" • Code GB5
