Book Description

What if the remarkable story of Ebenezer Scrooge was true? What if the account was relayed to Dickens and he turned it into A Christmas Carol? What if the Ghostly visitations did not begin with, nor end with, Scrooge, but the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come visit one misanthropic soul in need of reclamation every Christmas Eve? This modern-day sequel to the Charles Dickens classic assumes all of the above. And this time, the spiritual trio's attentions have been directed to a not-so-nice woman in Philadelphia. Ellie Printh is a 53-year-old heart transplant survivor and wealthy business owner who loves no one and has no intention of changing that. On the anniversary of the life-saving operation performed seven Christmas Eves prior, the spirit of her equally irascible heart donor warns her she will be visited by three ghosts, looking to reform her character and give her a fresh start. But will this supernatural encounter change Ellie for good or are some people simply too stuck in their ways? John Derr's Dickens-inspired novel is a Christmas story that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Exploring some big themes including childhood trauma and abuse, Another Christmas Carol's message will stay with readers long after they finish the final page.

Book Description

In this exciting Christmas adventure, Ebenezer Scrooge returns from the grave to battle ghouls, goblins and demons to save the world. Christmas is a time of goodwill and peace on Earth, but that is about to change. The Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future are forgotten, lost and dying. Ignorant and Want, the yellow, meager, ragged, scowling, wolfish children shown hiding within the folds of the robe of the Ghost of Christmas Present are the new Spirits of Christmas, and they have returned to bring Doom to the world. Only they are not alone... there is another, a Demon called Doubt, that wants nothing more than to bring about the end of days. Only one man can stop this apocalypse, Ebenezer Scrooge. But hasn't he been dead for nearly two hundred years?

Book Description

An illustrated holiday tale for nearly all denominations. Jasper "Kat" Petty has a case of Grinchitis. Most folks suffer a Scrooge-moment now and then, but for Kat, it's a virulent strain that has hung on for sixteen years. In high school, young Petty had the dream of being a novelist tucked into one pocket and a national writing award stashed in the other. But that was before his dad died, leaving the family in financial chaos. Forced to give up college and take a blue-collar job, he now watches his friends start families while he struggles through a string of "Caroles" who love him and leave him in short order-nearly always at Christmas. Enter: Chi, a comic devil who may or may not be God himself. The silver-haired eccentric with the wisecracking mouth and cockeyed view of living and loving shows Kat how to drop his prickly barriers and take one last shot at fulfilling his dreams-with of all things? Another Carole.

Book Description

Inventing Scrooge uncovers the real-life inspirations from Charles Dickens’ own world that led to the fascinating creation of his most beloved tale: A Christmas Carol. When Charles Dickens created the story that would become A Christmas Carol, little did he know that his “ghostly little book” would reinvent the way we celebrate Christmas. From a graveyard in Edinburgh to the Marshalsea Prison in London to his schoolboy years in Chatham and even his lifelong fascination with dance, so much of Dickens’ past and present are woven into the characters and themes of A Christmas Carol. And by understanding the story behind the story, readers will come to embrace the holiday classic all the more. To this day, we look to the Christmas season as a time of warmth and celebration among family, friends, and strangers alike. And every year at Christmastime, not only do our lives get better for all the festivity, but we get better, as people. Just like Ebenezer Scrooge.

Book Description

"Ehrlich’s insightful self-help guide will resonate with Christians wishing to streamline an overstuffed life."—Publishers Weekly Logically, we all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige—Jesus is very clear about that—but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society’s lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter. Written by a woman who simplified her own life and practices these principles daily, this book gives readers a fresh perspective on how to live out God’s grace for us in new and exciting ways and live out our faith in a way that is deeply satisfying.

Book Description

This engaging work takes a humorous look at a group of children (and their adult directors) preparing a Christmas play. From tryouts through the performance they experience Jesus in new and genuine ways. Young people will relate to the characters portrayed here, such as a star with a stage mother, an enthusiastic first-time director, a jaded preacher's kid, and a lonely youngster who discovers the gospel of Christ and the real meaning of Christmas for the first time.The most appealing features of this entertaining piece are its flexibility and practicality. The unique format allows several opportunities for children to share their individual talents (singing, playing piano or instruments, etc.) as they audition for the pageant. The material is easy to learn, and you can choose well-known Christmas carols for the choir to sing. Requiring few costumes and simple sets, this play allows you to involve as few or as many as you wish. Around the core cast of six children and four adults (who could be portrayed by older youth) are a choir (including all participants) and preschool children cast as animals. This inspirational resource can be adapted for presentation by churches of any size, and can be used as a children's production or a youth production.
